Need anatomy help!

[mousewrites]

Hey, there.

Ok, so I'm about 2 hours into this John/Rodney painting, and I know  the anatomy is off in Rodney's face and John's hands (which are shapeless blobs right now. His left is suposed to be resting on his hip, and his right just barely cupping Rodney's face

Draw-over in red ;)



I hope this helps - I tried to place them in respect to each other.
About the face: I think the corner of his mouth is kind of stretched out, which makes his mouth look like a slightly over-large gash - maybe you could just close off a bit of it :)

Also: his neck seems a bit massive, but that might just be because you haven't really added deep shadows to the back of it...

I'll leave this image up for a few days, then take it down - you can copy it to your hard disk if you find it helpful :)

I've already copied it (:D).

I think you're right about the mouth. Something elese is bothering me about the mouth, but I can't figure it out yet. And I think his forehead is too slopey....

Re: neck; yeah, I think it's because I did't shade john because I know his anatomy is wrong. I can hope, anyway!

And yes, that looks better. I (with help!) am redrafting john's body position entirely.

Thank you SO much for the help.
