Do you think the loose dark marks on the right side of his face ruin the drawing?
A bit

I based this ink drawinf on a Harpers Bizarre perfume advertisement. The right side of his face actually started off as an accident, but then I just went with it, hope you like it. And please answer my poll question, thanks Smile

Hey Dorff, It looks good but it seems like you lost it a bit on the shady side.
It's easier to draw one eye rather than two . Isn't it?

You could daken more the whole right hand side and it would look better - like a very strong contrast.

I guess it depends what you want to achieve...If your making a statement about appearance/looks/beauty, or no statement at all and the right side of the face was heavily shaded.

I do personally feel it dominants the image and ruins it.

If you dont like it...just tear that side of the face off. The remaining left side still works.
