This is not a problem of roughness and smoothness. : But the brow bone on the right side is higher and looks more energetic. : But for the areas on both sides of the forehead bone close to the temples, the left side is better treated. : Even though it has jagged edges, it doesn’t look stiff. I'm a little confused. When you say left and right, do you mean the character's left and right, not the audience's left and right? : In terms of color, it’s the same as above. It depends on the atmosphere you want to create. : I found some pictures below. Take a look. : 1 http: av.gznet.com local content zhang movie jhd 021015 jq400.jpg : 2 http: www.arxia.com florian transylvania dracula.jpg : 3 http: tourism.brasovcounty.ro pictures dracula.jpg : 4 http: www.nonipics.de filme cover dracula.jpg It was almost lights out yesterday and I didn’t have time to find the link. I’m sorry that you found so many pictures by yourself. Thank you. : The color tone in the first picture is closer to the feeling you expressed. : That is to say, the white color contains more ingredients : Indigo and blue also belong to the category of cool colors like white. : But the white color looks milder : Green is between cold and warm colors, and is more of a cool color. It must be used according to the situation. : As for the second picture, it has warm colors. : If you want to achieve the feeling of this picture, you can use yellow and red for shadows. : In red, you can mix some purple to increase the layering. : Compared with red, purple will be lighter or muddy when used. : The third picture is closer to a black and white photo : To create this feeling, naturally you can’t use too many colors. : Use pure white colors such as white, gray and black at most : Then the left half of the fourth picture feels a bit complicated. : The main body is warm colors, and the walls are paired with cool colors. : You can use more colors : That’s roughly it My original drawing is actually similar to 2. Both are warmer, but I want to create the feeling of a plaster sculpture. Probably because there has been a successful example of the gray system and it is relatively familiar to use. I rarely use red and yellow. I am worried that the painting will be too bright and not have a sense of horror. So even though there was red and yellow in the draft, it was removed when I was making the drawing. Maybe this is the limitation of thinking. I still haven’t stepped out of the box. : In addition, you can try to remove the green dots in the middle of the eyes : It feels better. Eyes don’t have to be added to every picture. : Sometimes emptiness appears more powerful It's true. It looks scarier. I've learned a lesson. m*m. Bye.
