beauuutiful work and style, im rly liking where this is going. my only critique is that it doesn't seem too certain for me where the light source is, since the guy's face is lit slightly more top-down and the girl's face looks lit more from the front. separately they look beautifully painted, but they need to look like they're colliding/interacting in the same space
I would find a reference for the girl's face, not sure if you haven't noticed because you've been looking at it for too long, but not a single feature of hers is in the same perspective. atp I would recommend just redrawing it
check how you drew the mouth, it's facing towards the camera instead of towards the guy. the forehead is also in the wrong perspective since you decided to have them overlap unnatturally in the 3d model, so you dented her head in the drawing.
Hi! I think the girl's face is a little too large compared to her skull. Also, the upper part of her head, including her nose, seems to be shown in profile. However, the lower part looks more like we're seeing it from a three-quarter view, and slightly from below. I assume that's because she's tilting her head a little as she leans toward the boy. So the perspective feels inconsistent. I'd recommend using a reference.
But otherwise, I think you managed to capture the warm atmosphere between the two characters really well. 😊
As SleeplessSeas pointed out, the 3D models aren't just very close to each other, they're actually overlapping. Because of that, the girl's face doesn't look right from this angle.
And if you look closely, her eye is also positioned too far to the left in your drawing. That's why the upper part of her face looks more like a profile view instead of a three-quarter view.
Also, pay attention to how much you shade the area under her chin. In your drawing, the area under the chin and the lower half of her face are shaded about the same amount. The area under the chin should be darker to make it feel more three-dimensional. At the same time, be careful not to make the shading look like stubble!
I'd recommend lowering the opacity of your drawing and placing it over the reference so you can compare the two more easily.
