@silentheart00 Sorry, my bad. I though it would be a long post and might seem a little patronizing. Since I’m very new to anatomy, I don’t feel comfortable just dishing out criticisms 😀 But I’ll try my best.
At a first glance the head seems very round from the side.
The ears seem too high and a bit behind. Usually, they are between the center line of the eyes and the corner of the mouth and from the side, they start where the jaw connects to the rest of the head (Which is the half point from the side) with an angle.
I have drawn the bottom line a bit higher than where the jaw actually ends since the mouth is open. It’s kind of difficult to decide where it should sit. But from this, the jaw seems a bit short.
The lips are a bit nonexistent. Coupled with a lack of philtrum and the short jaw, whole area seems a bit cramped and flat (Putting all the features in a small area makes it look cartoony/stylish. Flat is bad but cramped might be intentional :D)
The nose seems wide and short. Although the side parts of the nose (I don’t know what they’re called :D) can widen with an expression like that, the nostrils also move with those parts and change their shape. However, yours are also undetailed so you might already know this.
The front plane of the nose is very rounded which gives it a baby-like look.
The creases in the side parts of the nose also seem a bit unnatural. From what I’ve seen so far, they’re prominent where the side parts meet the face. Though, this might be different because of the expression.
And lastly, the features of the face seem like they could wrap around the skull a bit smoother but I can’t say this for sure as this is something I’m struggling with.
Sorry if there is any incoherency and I might have missed some stuff. I’m a bit sleepy 🙂
