Decided to try something different (which I'll probably be doing a lot) and go for more cartoon-y features this time. Robert here is having what the adults would call a "Monday". Ideally, he'd be a full character with a scene, rather than just a "flat" looking floating head. Time will tell if that happens or not. Will update this as Robert grows. Criticisms/tips are always welcomed.
I followed this tutorial for his face. Would've liked to do different hair, but hair is my worst enemy. Perhaps another time. Robert didn't turn out looking quite as cartoon-y as their example... maybe I didn't exaggerate the features enough?
Considering that this was the very first thing I drew with the tablet while getting used to it, that I haven't drawn seriously in over 10 years, and that I was never good with facial features... I'm pretty happy. (Even though her upper eyelashes kinda look like deer antlers.) I'm sure there's a bunch of errors, though, so please point them out so I can improve in the future! (And I'll also admit that I was following other examples because I can't freehand yet.) EDIT: I know her eye is kinda huge compared to everything else. I was originally just drawing features and then decided to throw some of them together like a Mr. Potato Head.
