Sionainn, I had another look and something strange happened; when I focus on the eyebrows, he/she looks constipated, just like you said, but as soon as I focus on the eyes, it's back to the hidden anguish ;P

Hmmm, I can just imagine a gallery director telling a tour group about this: "Ah yes here we have the fabaled masked trader, gender unknown . . . who is often speculated to be torn betweem great anguish and sorrow, guilt or some even speculate that he (or be it she) has just recently just sat on a pin, or has been having deep troubles with their bowl movements'

Oh wow, that's just....wow.
Thanks. It's taken me a couple of weeks, and i was fretting that it was not going to turn out right. I have never really been able to draw hair. ~:| I am glad you think it is good. ;D
BM I love it! Your drawing style is quite awesome ;D
Also, the hair looks amazing.
Wow, BM, that's awesome! :D I love her eyes - they're so deep and expressive. :nod: And I love your use of shading, particularly to show the play of light on her hair. :nod:
The only thing I could suggest is, maybe it would look better if her hair was a bit longer? Like, if her hair extended all the way down past the bottom of the page?
But I'm not sure, you're the artist, after all. :nod: I absolutely love it, anyway! ;D
Wow, that's really good. I love how you defined the shape of the nose without using a lot of solid lines. It makes it look really realistic.
It's great!! If I was going to provide some constructive criticism the only thing I would say is that the light source that's reflecting in his eyes is in a different spot in each eye. Other than that I love it!
The link isn't showing up Smuffy. Can you link it to something else?

:O Wow smuff! That is great!! I love the way you have portrayed both characters, and now I am really excited to read your books. I also love the way you have drawn the girl's hair. If I might ask, how did yu draw the curls? I have never been good at drawing hair, especially curls, and I need to draw a self-portraight at the moment for art, but i cant really portray me without the curls. Do you have any helpful hints?
I only have one small critisism and that is the size of the girls hand, and even her arm to some extent. I like how you have drawn the arm and hand, I just think that it doesn't fit with the size of the body. But apart from that I love it!!!! I think it would look great in colour.
Thanks, I was worried about her hand, and the guy's hand too. The angle just looks funny to me.
I don't really know how I draw curly hair...I just sort...Draw waves...Then add a few 3Dish-looking lines to make it look like curled paper or something... :-|
