Smudge sticks are just compacted paper in the form of various sized pencils. Much better than using your thumb because your thumb has oils that can mess up the shading.Originally Posted by smittenkitten
Thanks alot for the advice Omecle I'll study some things more. The only problem is that all I have is a pencil and paper.I don't have a smudge stick or anything fancy.
I never even knew about smudge sticks I just used my thumb.
Honestly, it's fairly cheap to buy some smudge sticks, some decent rubbers and a set of graphite pencils.
That's fine I guess, but it comes to a point where you have to draw something that's believable. It doesn't have to be real, but it has to be believable -- eyes have a lot of skin folds and variations in line thickness. The ones you've draw just look like they've been painted on the face, rather than sitting in the face (eyes sit quite a fair way into the face).As for the eyes my family has very big eyes I guess that's just the way I draw them. It's kind of my trademark, but I shall study them when I get the time. :mog:
But yeah, no worries, I don't mean to be harsh, just giving some advice if you want to follow it it's up to you.
