Started out as a sketch while on the phone, comments and critiques would be great.

sure looks like him.... as far as I remember...
my 2 cents:
the face looks a little skewed from top right to bottom left...
the underside of the nose looks quite flat...
but I think those are minor nitpicks.. |

Thanks for the reply... Just came back to mention that I DID TRACE THE OUTLINE ON THE RIGHT, AS WELL AS THE SIGNATURE. The rest was done by hand without reference.
Anyway, I do notice some serious skewing in the face as well... I think that's due to the mouth being too long on the left, because if I cover up that part it looks a lot better. I'll try and patch that up. As for the nose, I can see that too, but have no idea how to fix that. Any suggestions?
*EDIT - fixed nose and upper lip... look better now?* |

hey Tinusch, or should I call you TRACUSCH!?
I hope you don�t mind honest and maybe a bit hard crits...I don�t really like the face alot, aside from being skewed there is something I dislike which I can�t put my finger on, sorry.
What I can say though is that I LOVE the lips, they are awesome imo, so is the cigarette. I also like the hair and the neck.
P.S.: Now that you can do Slash�s signature, can�t you dress up like him and go shopping and hand out checks with it? ;P |

Yeah, well I've been meaning to tell you, I don't like your face very much either.
Just kidding. Thanks again for the comments. There is still some considerable skewage. I think it also lacks structure, it really looks a little too amorphous. Some more planar definition around the cheeks and jaw would help I suppose.
I added the outline and autograph as an afterthought to made the piece more interesting, which, tracing or not, I think it definitely did. But I did the rest of the image straight up with no reference or anything, which is totally hardcore and cool and everything. So that cancels out the tracing on the right. |

Hey Tinusch I really like the colors in this piece and yea the signature and and the outline helped the balance of the picture. I am having color theory at the moment in my school and it is really interesting stuff and I can see that you have used some of color theory elements to push the colors forward.
Nice stuff. :)
OH yea btw, you could add more hair to fix the skew and nose parts, just a tip, I don�t mind the skew though I think it works like that. I guess I am focusing more on colors and balance at the moment in pictures. :)
see you
