[Art] Tears Be Gone

Lovely character, I really love the soft sad look of his eye. The background frames the subject nicely without detracting from it. I would have gone with some darker values in places, especially in the hair and clothing to make the lighter values pop, but overall this is a very well done piece. Thanks for sharing it.

    More where the shadows are? Hehe I kept brightening up the picture because people were telling me it was too dark. But brightening it just didn't seem to work. I want to give your suggestion a try. Thank you!

      Yes, cast shadows where the clothing lies on top of his shoulders, under his arm and along the side where the light would not be as strong. Putting some darks in the hair will also push the highlights forward for more contrast. Good luck. Smile
