larmes sous la pluie - WIP

This is a piece I am currently working on. I am trying for a melancholy type of mood. I am working on the face and general shape right now. I hate the feet. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.



closeup of the face. I know she is bald but I hated the hair too.



Closeup of the feet.



Again, any comments or suggestions would be a big help.

The face looks good. She might need a little more in the way of eyebrows but that's it. as far as I can see. As for the feet, its hard to tell right now because you've not got them fully defined. The one on our left might be a little long? She's got her knee bent and yet the shoe there is actually lower than the one only slightly behind it. The heel of the shoe is pointed too far downwards I think. If her leg is bent and she's standing like she's just about to step then that heel should be pointed a bit backward in agreement with the angle of the heel of her foot instead of pointed towards the ground. That's probably what's bugging you about it. I hate drawing high heels...hate hate HATES them, yes!

No c/c to add - but when you start on shadows, I think adding soft shadows from like falling hair (if you go that route) would really lend to the melancholy feel you want. :thumbsup

She is gorgeous I agree with Mai about the feet.

Thank you for all your help. This is where I am right now. I reworked the dress a bit because it was looking like she had a fat ass. I also reworked the feet taking the suggestions here. Of course I did the feet before the dress, so now that she is bootyless she looks like she has big feet. That aside, I think I like the position of the feet a bit better, I just need to shrink them a bit. Any c/c is welcome.
