i dont know what i can really say but its looking good. i think you need more work on the jaw line and the ear.. i think the tip of the ear alines to the eye or eyebraw... just look in a mirror

if that helps. But i would have to agree on the eyes pretty cool. I still need more practice on doing eyes!

Hmmm, my advice is try flipping the Canvas Horizontally or Vertically to see where you're going wrong.

Your piece should look good mirror image. If it looks distorted when you mirror it, there are things wrong with your piece. There's a better way to explain it, but that's a good way to check your anatomy.

I think the coloring is coming along nicely. The forehead is very large though.

ooohhhh---i know what you mean now.!..ive done that before--you said the fore head looks big,..so do you think hair would help any??

whoa...i just tried the mirror thing and its completely not-proportioned --i dont think i should advance on this any more since it's already flawed

it'd be a shame to just give up since you've done so much work. you might be able to work it in the mirror image and then flip it back.

The forehead is quite big. Is that what you want. But nice work.
