I couldn't sleep because I had this image in my head, so I got out of bed and painted it and didn't get to sleep until 4:30AM but ehhhh worth it. I like doing stylistic stuff with Black Widow's hair. I also didn't do any sketching with this, just started painting in shapes, which was kinda fun and ended up with this lineless look. Might experiment more with this style.

A constructive critique, if you don't mind: When drawing humans, remember that the eyes should be about in the middle of the head (height-wise), so this lovely lady could benefit from a slightly higher forehead.
This is utterly gorgeous, by the way! Love the way you did her lips and the stylized hair If I one day get half as good at this as you, I'll be plenty happy... <_< ... >_> ... cause the teacher in me likes to toss out a critique here and there, but I know NADA about digital painting XD

Thanks for the constructive critique; I can see what you're getting at but, personally, I think the measurement middle of the head height-wise business is useless. If the head is tilted up or down then this doesn't apply (in this case it's tilted slightly up), and each face has different proportions. Those measurements they teach you in bad how-to-draw-faces books are alright as guidelines, but they don't have universal applications to every face, certainly not every angle for a face... I could move her hairline up a tiny bit to give her a higher forehead but that wouldn't put her eyes in the middle.
No, no, I didn't mean her hairline, but the entire top of her head, above the eyes. Pardon, I'm Norwegian, so it varies how well I make my self understood in English, heh... Anyway, with a basic knowledge of foreshortening (which you definitively have), you will be able to see if the eyes are somewhat in the center even if the head is tilted so "your argument is invalid", to say it crudely. And some of those "bad how-to-draw books" may contain many lame "tricks" in certain cases one would not want to follow, but the general proportions of the face is not in that category, they are pretty accurate when speaking of realism. How ever, artistic interpretation of the human proportions for the sake of a certain expression in a piece is a whole different matter, so I'll leave it at that...
