While I think it has varied over the years, I think the way it is most often portrayed is that the tear tracks get longer toward the outside of her eye.

One thing you might consider is moving the location of the tears, as well. Tears generally fall from the inner corner of the eye because that's where they travel to be drained. Maybe, moving the outer tear streams to the inner and outer corners might help with the look (or at least play with the inner one to see if that appears more realistic). I think trying this along with your adjustments to the size and shape of the tears will bear good results. Advice aside, I think this is a an excellent portrait.

cheers again guys seems daglob is familiar with the character but i think i've confused some of you with the tears,they are not real tears, its kinda more like face paint or make up

Okay, now that makes better sense now that I've seen what you're shooting for because with the black& white all I had very little to go from. I still think thought the length and shape need to be reworked slightly though, much like you re-iterated you looking into after I posted originally. Also, you might want to bring them a bit closer together too because at the moment the pic you have posted are scattered quite wide apart across the eye compared to the pics you referenced and perhaps you might want to up the makeup around her eyes some too.

Ah, well then, completely disregard everything I said.

There was one story I saw where she (or one of her incarnations) painted the tears on her face with eye makeup. Another time I think someone cried (cry for Dawn... natch) and got the tear effect. It's just one of those things... like never seening her other eye.

The Wolverine/Black Cat team up "Claws" is both funny and beautifully illustrated.

Nice work!

Some of your full figures seem a tad stiff... but they are just mostly pencils and easily corrected.

Your muscle definition on the boys needs a little bit of work. Again... another very easy fix.

Your cartooning and anime style are very pro looking. indistinguishable from some of the work I have seen from others (yes that is a compliment)

Your Catwoman rocks. Except for the tapering of the left eye to the right (A habit I am horribly known for myself). Irregardless of that small detail. It is a beautiful pic. Love the level of black gloss highlight you gave to her hood.

The colored rabbit is the bomb! Awesome job!

Your Harley reminds me a bit of the artist named Bart Sears. I am not a real fan of his work because his women tended to look a bit manly. Tone it done a bit and smooth out your lines and she would look alluringly feminine.

Best way you can test a piece of work you might think is dead on is to flip it. Either on a light board or a simple non-damp window. You will see your flaws as soon as you do. Not all flaws need to be corrected. In illustration, forced perspective and the bending of the laws of physics is permitted. But simple things like aligned eyes (My personal bane again) is not.

Awesome job. Keep up the good work!

Beau. Tea. Full!

Great line work here. The hood and scarf are rendered in such a way that gives them a good sense of volume. What is this for, btw?

Deaths Jester · November 30, 2013, 04:33:54 PM

Much better tear work, UE...definitely closer tot eh look o the character you were shooting for!

Don't know how I missed this, but you have a fantastic eye for detail.
