LandShark: @GODking: I personally thought that their faces did come out a little off, though I was thinking that more for Korra's face. What do you find weird about the heads? I'd like to know so that I can keep in mind for next time and not potentially do the same thing again.
Zep: Perspective is hard to do right, but it's good to work on so keep at it. The major problems i see are that their heads are a little bit too small. Asami's right hand is a little bit too big. Asami's ear is too far back and her hairline needs a major redo. Hairlines are hard to do right but when you learn them you'll set yourself apart from most artists that hide it with overhanging hair. I would suggest googling images of womens hairlines and women with long black hair and use that as a basis to draw Asami's in the style she has. The hair line has to be a soft transition rather than a hard one otherwise it comes out looking as though they have a hair transplant or worse a plastic helmet hair piece. I use really light soft strokes with the hair color and alternate with the skin tone on the same brush and just work them in together to give the impression of hair coming from the skin and flowing back into the mass of hair. It's just a small area on the boundary between the skin and the hair you do this for...if the hairline transition is too deep they'll look like they're balding so be aware of that. Add a bit of color to the shadows and the border between the light and dark. It's called "hue shifting", and for instance you could add a bit of red to the shaded area and add in a slight bit of pink along the border of the shadow which give an indication of the SSS or "Sub Surface Scattering" that occurs as light essentially makes the skin glow in that narrow border between light and shadow. Add a bit of blush (a red/pink color) to the cheeks, ass, elbows, knees, feet, nose, pussy and palms of the hand to give them a bit of life...However don't be overzealous with blush...you want it to enhance the image not make them look like they have red makeup on in those areas.
