>pinched faces
What does this mean?
>Assymetrical features
Contrary to belief, assymetrical features are often a good thing. Although I am disappointed with how poor and misshapen the characters look when you mirror the human lineup. I should've flipped the image more when I was drawing it.
>misshapen eyes like runny eggs
What does this even mean? The eyes, although they take many different shapes, are always a distinct, clean shape.
>Mouths are often too big or small
So there's supposed to be an appropriate size that varies little from character to character? Just because they're human beings doesn't mean they're not cartoons. The Simpson characters have extraordinarily large mouths, and overbite at that. Even proportions in a cartoon character are bad, and larger eyes and mouths are often suggested to show expression.
> fat cheeks but hard jaws
A jaw doesn't have any fat on it unless the character is fat. Don't know what to tell you. The roundness in the faces is certainly feminine and actually only slightly different from a head that say, MS would draw. As a matter of fact, out of the main six, three have small, pointed jaws and one's face is round enough as to not appear to have a jaw at all.
>big man shoulders
The shoulders are considerably narrower than a man's and even that of a real woman's. Pinkie and Fluttershy have barely any shoulders at all.
>skin tone, blush, and makeup
The only character that comes close that is Rarity, and it's for a reason relating to her fashiony self.
>too many lines on the face
To compare myself to MegaSweet again, my faces contain no more lines than what he uses. Count them if you have to.
I understand criticism, but I feel like you pulled half of this stuff out of your hat or tried to impose "realistic" human characteristics onto them which has no place in anything abstracted, let alone a cartoon. |
