Curly hair can certainly create huge volumes that defy gravity.


I know that to be true, for I am afflicted thus...

Everything's on the right!!!

Nick's right and with proper shading it might look better - though I still think the "rise" you've painted the outline of so far indicates a very high skull - if it's going to be that high it would probably also be a bit wider, I think. (Making the whole head look a bit bigger.)

Any an all misspellings are henceforth blamed on the cats.

Yeah, it seems to be a thing I do to my female characters. I make the hair big and the noggin starts to look massive too!

I will put up an update, since I have blocked in a lot of the hair shape. Let me know what you think.




Also, I have put in the reference I am using to get the curls looking as right as I can!

Done a bit more on her hair. I have also corrected her face, as Charlotte suggested.

Going ok I think. Hair needs more detail, but the rest needs to be looked at before I get lost on the fun stuff!

The detail of the hair is looking wonderful, though I'm still not keen on the "bulge" at the top. Maybe it's just 'cause I hate it when my hair looks like that (which it tends to do if I went to bed with wet hair - not that I have the amazing curls of Shakira, my hair is all straight and flat usually, so the "bulge" looks extra out of place :P)

So, did another simple line thingy and I hope you're not colourblind because if you are I chose the worst colours... Red lines show the "bulge" that I'm talking about and not liking, green how I think the hair should be wider... (As in the ref though the very top is cut off)



Also I don't even remember suggesting any changes to her face? :huh:

Where's the ref? I actually looked while at work, and was thinking I just couldn't see it at work? Must be a real tiny link. :)

Ok, I think I'm going completely nuts. This is all I see for that post. (It is a link, right?)

Oh yeah. I just looked at the rather helpful critique post you left me, but I misunderstood what you were saying about the proportions of the face. You were talking about trying to work out where the top of the cranium was, so that I could work out the appropriate hair hight. I thought you were pointing out that the features were not central. So I moved them all to make them more symmetrical!

Is it ok if I like where the hair line is? I really do appreciate what you are saying and highly value your opinion, I really really do, but I kinda like the hair being high like that. It is an utter fantasy of course; it doesn't happen in the real world. But, I think the extra big bonce adds to the childlike character that I am going for.
