Thank you!

Yeah, my lips were really shiny. X_X I was in a phase where I liked that style because I couldn't quite figure out how to do lips in realism, but I've learned a bit since then and I'm trying to tone it down.

I love doing his eyes, but I still haven't figured out how to get them quite the way I want them.

Do you use oils? I've always wanted to oil paint but thought it might be too hard for me.

My pleasure.

Oh! So then i am sorry for saying so...i hope it doesn't upset you it was really no bad intention.-.°
But anyway i love the lips...they are so...so full?xD so as if you would like to kiss them all over.

Well...eyes are always hard...i think. Because of the different ways to draw and also they are the emotion of any picture...because as soul of the person you draw, they have the most important part at a painting...so yeah...but i love the way you did them on here, so please do not think so bad May i ask what you wanted different?

Yes i use oil! You can find one picture in my gallery:3~
Well if you wish i can teach you a bit, but i am still beginner but ofc wanna share my knowledge with you if you wanna learn:3

No, no, it's okay. I didn't take offense at all. ^_^ Criticism is very welcome.

Eyes are so hard. It's taken me a long time to figure them out. Even then I'm still learning. Um, I'm not sure. I want his eyes to be rather slitted and sleepy, but I always seem to make them "rounder" than I want. Something like that. It's hard to explain. I have the vision in my head but can't put it on "paper" very well, but I'm getting better at it.

Oh! I saw the picture. You're really good! I can't blend real paint well at all. Any tips you can share would be amazing.

Okay then it is my pleasure.

Yes, i agree. I also have problems with the eyes.-. If doing a portrait with a reference it is totally no problem...but if it comes to own chars...god beware, dood.
So i know what you mean when you say you can not put it on "paper"...it often is really hard because the own characters you wanna have perfect.

wow...////. you really think i am good?!
So well...blending with oil is pretty much easier then you will expect.
That is because the color needs at least 3 days before it is dry...i once had a picture which was still not dray after a week, lol.
So in that time you can blend and change everything.
To blend i use a middle-thick oil brush from the brand Da Vinci. At first i mix the base color for the skin.
For that i use: white, yellow, red and blue. At first i use red and blue, so that a brown is coming out, after that, with yellow and white i mix the color i want. After some times doing so, you will egt a sense for it.
so if that is done, i take the color and put it on the picture.
I color a huge area and then i use white to blend the part which should be more lightly it is pretty easy with oil, because the colors you can mix as you please. then i use the mixed color to put more darker parts in and mix another brown tone with blue, red and white again, but spare out the yellow then!
I repeat that over and over, until i am then. I hope it was some help.-.° If you have more questions, you also can write me a pm, maybe it is easier then!
