If your referring to my drawings (I haven't posted many cause I need to scan them in and I've been really lazy
)work I've been drawing sense I was 6 and I'm 27 now. I rarely finish my works thou. But I've always believed that the eyes where the most important part of a peace "the window of the soul" if you will, the more life you bring into an eye, the more depth, it really captures your attention. So I guess that's why I prefer the first one more because it's more raw flow as you said some emotion is missing. Achieving balance that's key that even some of the "best" Artist on here can lack. *points to quote*
But that's why I like pencil rather then digital mediums. I'm old fashioned.
