"I guess?" Is it or is it not your art thread?

The problem isn't the eyes, it is the general proportions. They are, as you noted, a bit close together, as well as too high on the face. A bit turned to the side as well, while the rest of the face is facing straight forward. It is not a big problem, it is just a matter of practice and observation.
As far as I can see, you were looking down a little for most of it, perhaps besides the nose, the eyes then is put at a place as if you are looking up, but without actually having the eyes gain that proportion. The ears seem to fit that same conclusion.

I think Poison should just call it cubism and be done with it.

specifically cenere's. i've always felt a little clumsy with proportions when drawing faces. need more practice with that

anyway, new stuff. doing monotypes in printmaking to keep us occupied until exam week.

well, not everyone can have some kind of natural talent about proportions.
If I may:

Paint edits, woot!

Anyway, can't make much out of the first one (thought it would most likely be widely popular in any modern art group), and clowns kinda creepy me out. But the colours are used quite well.
And I think the effective width is around 640-670 pixels.

I've been waiting for thiiiis.
Cenere pretty much said everything to be said about the face. Only advice I'd give is to simply keep at it.
