WIP-Ben (Feedback please!)

So here’s Ben so far. Needs more red tones, overall.  Gold scribble is a placeholder for trim I plan to draw.  I’m not sure I like the thick linework, I like the weight of the lines in his faux-hawk.  Thoughts, on the lines and in general?

    I love this piece! The rich colors contrasting the skin tone and blonde hair are beautiful. I think the outline around the chin and ears could be cut in half and stil frame it nicely. I noticed more is the outline around the fingers. Because they are long and thin, the heavier line weight is in conflict and makes them look “chunky” instead of long and graceful. Beautiful, beautiful work.

      Thanks! Your comments keep along the same lines as other critique I’ve gotten, so I went with the general consensus and made changes.

    Yeah, and I love looking at your work, for sure. But I don’t want you to get sick of me too quickly! LOL. ;-)
