@donbonbon Thank you for your feedback!
The reason why the male character looks like a normal human being is because he was commissioned that way! 😀 He´s a normal human male in his 40s with burn marks from an old accident. If I would draw males the way I wanted, they would have something mytical on them as well. Just take a look at the male from the bust sketch practice. It´s just a theme I really like.
Once I´m more comfortable with drawing males there will be more drawings of them as well!
I can agree with the portrait, I failed to capture her kind of sarcastic gaze, I hope I become more acurate with copying emotions/expressions in the future.
