Comment on Saint No.33 by Doc-Hammer
Her eyes and mouth give a solid expression, and the light source is almost tangible. Very nice work.
However her head does look a tad out of proportion to the rest of her body. It seems maybe a little big?
I'm no expert painter, and I'm definetly not the authority on human anatomy, so please don't take this personally. I jsut try to leave helpful comments when I do.
Nonetheless, this is a masterful painting.

That painting is done and sold. Can't do much about it now, ya know. But anatomy is something that we all struggle with. I can't imagine a day that I will not step back from one of my paintings and go "What the?"
The head is large because she is lurching forward (slumped), and this is an issue of very delicate foreshortening. I thought it was successful... But I can see where you would be kinda weirded out by it.

Oh no worries. 
I was almost sure the reason was perspective, but that's not something I'm great at in the first place.
You pulled it off 1000% better than I could've, taking into consideration I can't/don't paint.
I've been trying to do a picture with a first person view of someone reasching up to the sky. Naturall their lower arm is going to be the widest part even though 'normally' the hand would be. It's just because it's closer that it's bigger.
Grats on daily deviation by the way. If it weren't for that I may have never seen your gallery. Either way the painting is superb.

Oh... I see what you are talking about now. Yeah, ya see, her body is at a 45 degree from the easel. She tuned her head towards me. So perspective makes her shoulders look small and that is where the head issue comes into play... Ya see what I mean? It's a dark painting and a shitty photograph. If you saw the real painting, I doubt you would have had that problem. Ya see why I paint women in bras? If you saw the architecture in her chest, you would know in an instant the angle of her body... That's why I paint them (Well... There are many reasons, that one is a new one) But thanks for the "hey, watch out"... I was kinda confused there for a bit.
