I'm looking for constructive criticism on my painting of floydiankate. I will take anything anyone is willing to give (aside from praise; I don't like praise); should you feel like just saying "You suck," I'm cool with that. However, I'm looking for maybe some advice on where to go. I think I've just been staring at it for so long that I'm sick of looking

A lot of what you said is what my instructor said before I started putting some of the paint down. The thing with the eyes is that because she is in 3-point perspective (where I'm looking up at the subject), they have to wrap around the sphere of the head, so they are supposed to look a bit uneven. When I had them even with each other, I was actually told to fix the right eye. So I kind of did just as a basic outline in paint that can and will be tweeked.

Now that you've pointed it out, I can see what you mean about the forehead seeming swollen. I will totally fix that up. Also, I was told that the forehead is too long for the 3-point perspective, so that is probably the problem with the size of that.

As far as the cheeks go, I'm really not sure if I can lighten up on the cheeks without making her head disproportionate to her body. Maybe if I make the neck a big longer? And the eyebrows are yet to be painted in. They're pretty light IRL, so I'm going to get them in after I finish with the skin tone.

Thanks for your input. It was honestly helpful and I appreciate it. :D
