Hi David,
Yea his mouth and chin was asymmetrical. I think it is the way he moved his mouth or his smile, or whatever.
In the photo the asymmetricalness (is that a word?) is even more pronounced since the chin has dark shadows in it, almost an outline in the photo.
Although thinking about it if I add a centimeter or just a wee bit to the bottom left side of the lip it would look better and more accurate.
To be honest the lips was the hardest thing to do since they were so small and thin and weirdly shaped. I noticed that alot of people have asymmetrical faces especially if they make a slightly odd expression.
Thanks David for the help. One day I would like to work in oils but watercolors are easier for me now (and require less space).
We have very little room for an easel and all (sigh).
I know that oil is fixable but doesn't it require more patience? It takes a long time to dry right? Plus you need to know more about the chemistry of oils in order to handle them correctly?
I think I have tried oils once, and the results were bad that was probably me though and not the oils
Well thanks,
Jen
