Description Can some one help me with the proportions, something.... a lot of things seems off, but I can't figure out what.

I've changed the pose a million times allready
(and re aranged the face)
The curtains are there to cover up proportions mistakes I couldn't fix.

Clever use of the curtains sweetie. I gotta say I really can't point anything out that is proportionaly incorect. The only thing that I noticed is the neck. No it's not the usual problem it just seems a bit crooked to me. I know he's supposed to be tilting his head slightly but the way the neck is bent seems a bit off.

Other than that I can't see anything that's off.

The feathery furness is incredible on the jacket......as usual.

The right arm looks a little weird, and the way his lips are just look...unnatural. The shading on the left side of the chin is a little weird...The bars are weird, do they cut his chair in half? Because it looks like he's sitting...

It's still a nice picture, though...

No no, the bars are supposed to be placed between the chair and the person, it didn't show wery well when I had to draw the second curtain, it covered up the seat T_T

Cuts his hair in half? I don't see that, but maybe they need more shading to look less flat?

The shading, I was trying to do some sort of source of light thing, like the right side is darker because of the curtain I'm not wery good at that yet, I should have made it even darker I think.

He's supposed to be standing and leaning on something.

Damn, the lip look weird? T_T I was tiered of making the same ol' lips all the time, so I was trying to go for something new.

Any chance you can tell me how to fix things or make stuff looks better, than just tell me it looks weird?

Let me look at it some more.

I think, about the lips, that maybe you could look at yourself in the mirror, making that expression, and that would help. I also think that if the right arm is supposed to be at that angle, there would be a longer upper arm, or at least more shown. I'm also not entirely sure that the curtain would shadow his chin...If he's leaning on something, then where's the something? Yeah...that's all I can think of.

Thank you for your help, the arm thing was very helpful, I always mess up the proposrtions. The lips, I actually did look at my own in the mirror, and I couldn't stop laughing *lol* I was trying to paint some sort of a snarl, I noticed my nose wrinkeled when I did that, but I decided to skip that on the drawing, he looked ugly and old with wrinkels. I will practice more on diffrent facial/lip expressions, this was my first try, I'll take it as practice.
I'll remember to draw the "something" next time, good point.

i think it is aboslutely awesome, though i think the nose is alittle too big to match the size of the eyes, could that be the problem?

but if you hadn't said about the proportion problem i wouldn't have guessed there was anyhting wrong with it, its really fantastic

you know what, i think it looks really really awesome. The only think I would look into fixing would be bringing the chin more to the middle of the face. With how the head is turned it may look a lil better if the chin was more to the right of the image.

other then that this is.... AMAZING!!!!

erm, it looks freakin awesome to me... i think the eyes might be a lil bit off, as in theyw ould only look like that if his head was tilted more... or maybe it's his mouth that's throwing it off? there are a few lil things but they aren't too distracting.

I know T_T I tried fixing eyes and mouth several times without luck T_T
I think it's his right eye (too high) or mouth or chin........or............T_T cries
At least I'm satisfied with the gun
