Question: Which of these two drawings do you think is the best and why!?
i'm 15 and am not bvery good at art!. I drew these at school and my parents liked them!.!. so i want to see if they are just being supportive or if they really are ok!.

The first one is a self Portrait - yes it looks liek i have a red face!.

The self-portrait -- even though you don't have a lot of experience drawing, it shows a kind of raw eye for color and expression!. The color is actually quite exciting in a delicate understated way!. There's a quiet tiny dissonance between the orange hair and the red face that to me is great!. By "dissonance" I mean that they should clash, and kind of do a bit, but in an exciting way that works!. Then that strange green behind is also interesting!. There's something too in the eyes that is moving!. It's somehow quite expressive!. I love how the eyes pick up on the background colors but are just slightly bluer!.

The other too I think is good!. I suppose most would say it looks more accomplished!. It is in some ways!. I like how you bring that dark right around the right side of his face like that!. It's bold!. But to me, the self-portrait is the more interesting image!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

they are both pretty good, ignoring the fact that it looks like you have a red face lmao, i like the self portrait!. it is well constructed and proportioned!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
