Going to be attempting to paint a bit of realism. Ha bloody ha.

Although I can't keep the manga out, can I?

You can tell I didn't trace because IT'S ALL WONKY AND DRIVING ME CRAZY.

Damn, I got his head too big, didn't I?

DRIVE BY VIN DIESAL LOVE. Unless that isn't Vin Diesal.

I don't *think* it is - it's from an artistic anatomy book and he doesn't seem to be credited. So probably not, unless he has an art modeling career under another name. XD

[lierdumoa.livejournal.com]

Not Vin Diesel.

Hahaha...I think I have that book. :D Yeah, the head is just a tad big (I refrained from saying a "hair" big....gah....I'm tired!) But it's kinda balanced by the larger chin, so it's tough to call....I think it's passable as a lot of hair.

The nice one with the transparent overlays of bones and muscle on photographs? XD

I redid the head in Photoshop with a fat brush - I think it's much better. Now to bite the bullet and move the dman thing over to Painter. Of course, I need to to more internet research to find good skin tones for redheads...

Pale. Redheads are pale. :D (Haha ....didn't help a damned bit, did that? :D) Actually, google image search is pretty good....redhead as your search might return some useful stuff.

Hmmmm, the skin tone would have to be somewhere between bone white with radioactive glowing action! and "they found me frozen solid in Iceland". I speaks from experience. I does. :P

This is what makes me think I was obviously meant to be a redhead - I've got pale skin and green/hazel eyes. But my hair is mousy ash brown, so I havne't actually seen the natural color of my hair all over in many a year.

These, OTOH, are my relatives who I'm not actually related to by blood. Zach there was born with BRIGHT ORANGE hair - he looked like Sting did in Dune. (http://www.sfolse.net/misc/xmas2000/monica_zach.jpg)

Pale like "I-got-a-bad-sunburn-in-the-Scottish-Highlands" pale? Oh yeah. I hear you, my friend.

[cerusee.livejournal.com]

I agree with the others. If you put the faintest hint of peachy tones in a crapload of white, you will have the approximate skin tone of every redhead I've ever met, myself included. The goddamn fecking freckles are optional.

For some reason, it reminds me of Yoshitaka Amano's Dream. I can't quite put my finger on why. I think it's the hair (which looks kickass, BTW. Love it!)

(And the head's not too big; the forearm is just too slender--it's shaped more like a woman's than a man's. */nitpick)

[cerusee.livejournal.com]

Whoa, preeeeeetty. 0_0

The forearm is a tad slender, even for a woman, definitely too thin for a man.

[redsnowpenguin.livejournal.com]

*_* Pretty indeed *_*

But like cerulean_burn said, the forearm...

In this position, the top line for the forearm would curve upwards and then taper as it moves towards the elbow joint, I think.
