Critiques for "Dashing young noble?"

This looks great Ark! He looks gorgeous^^ I especially love his eyes and his smile The coloring looks wonderful too^^ I'd never think it was done with marker The only thing I can point out is that his arm seem a little higher than it should be. Other than that it looks great. New fave!

Yeah- cropped arms are difficult to get right- specially since it's a traditional pic and not digetal. That expression took me aaaaages to get right though XD I wanted his smile to look genuine, and not forced, but getting the mouth on the right angle proved difficult- I had to pix myself grinning >.> (Not pretty)It looks very Alex though which is what I really wanted ^^ I need to practise on paper that takes the felt more though- this pic bled HEAPS. Yuo can't see it shrunk, but the rea version is (colours are nicer on the origanal)

I have yet to draw someone smiling, but I'm sure it probably isn't that easy... Your effort payed off though^^ Don't say that! I think you're very pretty

No- me taking photos of myself and gwaffing myself out isn't XD LOLs! The smile isn't the problem- it's all the other thing s faces do when they smile It's not just a wide grin. It's cheek creases, narroewed eyes, raised brows etc... I've got a book dedicated to all that kind of stuff. It's awesome ^^

Yeah, I guess it's kinda problematic trying t use your own photo to draw a guy That book sounds interesting

http://www.amazon.com/Artists-Complete-Guide-Facial-Expression/dp/0823016285 = made of win ^^

It's nice that you can see some illustrations in Amazon. I could really learn alot from that book Btw you inspired me to draw a man smiling too I'll post it later, I'll surely need some pointers^^

Yays!! ^^ I do recommend that book. I never truely realised what muscles pulled when you smile. None of my faces look plastic anymore. It's morphed my art. And I've barely read it. It's seriously worth the read- BUY!!!

That's great I might buy it, and if not this one then I'll look for something similar. I just want to save some money right now...

Buy it? As in the original- you serious about that?

I meant the book^^; But why not? I really like ths one I'd love to buy an artwork you did, you always manage to make your pictures look cool^^

Sorry- I didn't understand you XD The novel is a long way off, but it currently does have 3 comics ^^ Slayers Game... I know of 1 purchasable copy, and Final Sunset is curently only available in New grounds, but will be a stand alone hopefully by April. I have to get 10 pages for it done by September >.< Those are able to be bought ^^
