And my second part of our art/story trade from earlier last year.
Comparing this one to the sheep and wolf scene from almost a half a year ago, I expected a bit more of a challenge, but I guess DikranO wanted me to simply flesh out his new characters.
... I need to practice more human male faces though, I'm not entirely satisfied with how I've drawn Ryan... serves me right for drawing "scenes" where most human male characters heads are obscured or off-panel x'D
If I would have to guess the source of the facial discomfort, it would be because Ryan has big anime eyes, but a more realistic, grizzled, detailed face. So it just kinda ends up in the "uncanny valley" where his eye-balls are too big for his head, I imagine. Edit: Although, i think if you were to shift his facial features "up" a bit, it might reduce some of that issue?
