I am currently working on a yeti portrait, here is my sketch (working on the coloring but its far from finished). What do you think? Critisim desired.

Nice, so far.

I agree

feral glint in eye through shadow?

Thanks. Adding an eye would be no problem, I will try this later on and see if it looks better.

Question: Is the face maybe too dark?

Only in a relative sense, in that the fur is too bright at this stage.

I think as a base tone it is fine, but highlights of course
looks nice

@ Elvish Pillager: The fur comes later, I guess it will be the most difficult task.

@ Thrawn: I will try to highlight some parts a bit.

do yetis really have purple skin? Cool!

and trust me, doing the fur will be the hardest part. But if you get it right in the end it will be worth it.

I have tried several things while drawing the fur and I think this turned out pretty well (I also moved the head a bit to the right).

It doesn't look particularly hairy, especially since the lines don't follow the flow of the hair.

what you could do is something similar to how the hair is done in konrads portrait.

I will try it...

Yes, that is really disappointing hair.

It just doesn't look like hair - it'd have to be completely redone.

Completly different approach (Corel Photo-Paint rules xD) I have to admit that it looks a bit fluffy but i will try to combine it with the former outline.. ^^''
