Aesthetics Muhans_Doll Face-Up - Happy Puppy & Crying Puppy

Wow they are both so cute!! Love love love the blushing you did goes super well with the eye color!!

 

So cute! I love the glossiness of the undereye/ lashline it looks so pretty and the blushing is super cute! I have a happy puppy and it's one of my fav sculpts! Putting them on a 1/5 scale body is such a good idea

 

Hi, I saw you posted in Critique so I hope this is okay to say. I'm not an artist, first off. I can hardly hold a pencil without poking myself in the eye. I'm especially not a faceup artist, again pencil + eye = pain.

I really like all the colors you used on these two faces! I think they coordinate very well with each other, and I love the gloss on their lashlines.

I'd just say, while I like the color, there might be too much of it? I'm not sure what characters you had in mind for these two cuties so please tell me I'm wrong if I make an incorrect assumption.

These sculpts have cute little noses but I think you may have blushed them a little too much, for my tastes anyways. Same with their cutie pie cheeks and around their eyes. I like that you did other colors than just pinks and red around the eyes to help break it up. Again, if that's a central part of the character, say no more!

I really like the blushing on the forehead, and I like how you followed the form of the sculpts' foreheads with it. The brows look fantastic too!

I think these are amazing, and you clearly have a lot of talent. These are just my little nitpicks.

 

Since you asked for feedback on the eyebrows and eyelashes specifically: what is it that you don't like about them/what were you aiming for? I can say what I might do differently, but I don't know if our tastes are the same, you know?

 

Well, I have never used airbrush paints, so I can't give you specific advice about them...

Generally thinning out paint until it's semi-transparent will give you more of a fade, although then you have to be careful about it getting too runny to work with. It can also help to put less paint on the brush—just lightly dip it, rather than fully soaking it. Also pushing down more firmly when you start the brushstroke, and lifting/flicking the brush away from the surface at the end of the stroke. This might take a bit of practice (on a piece of scrap paper?) to get the hang of.

Of course using lighter colours will give a softer look too... Or you could add more of a wash of colour to the brows using your airbrush (or whatever you were using for the blushing), which might help blend the lines better.

These are just things that come to mind from my general painting experience, I don't know if they'll apply here!
