Hi
This is my second portrait drawing (actually, this is the first protrait I draw, except it is the second time as the first one wasn't to my liking). I followed some tutorials on the net (one of them posted here). I've only been seriously drawing for a about 3 months now but I don't expect or want that you folks to go easy on me 
About the image, well, it shows mostly the outlines of the drawing. In the paper I have very light markings of shading but the scanner can't pick those up without making the entire drawing too dark.
It took me about one hour to do while chatting on IRC  I'm planning to start doing the shadow work tomorrow but wanted to see if any one has any suggestions or wants to point out the mistakes I did. I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Bruno |

I think you might want to look at the angle of her upper brow (top side of her eyes) in the photo she looks a bint more concerned about something as she ponder's out the window. but in your drawing I am feeling something is forming completely different. I feel that she is more angry or upset.. i guess ant the same time you could counter that with the eyebrows. all in all this image is going very very well.. i can't wait to see it develop!

hey, pretty good job so far.. i have a few critiques, though. first of all, the thing that popped out most to me was that weird cheek line. the one right under the tip of her nose. in the picture, it's nice and smooth and flows right down. you drew it a bit awkward and it makes it look like she has a huge piece of fat hanging off her face. unless you like fat pieces of fat on the side of girls face's, you should make it more straight and curved straight down. hehe
also, i think you got the curve of the area right above her lips wrong. look again at the angle / curve of the ref's face. also, notice that you can see how the lips don't start curving downward until you get past the middle of them. we should be able to see more of her upper-lip, too. just keep checking back and forth. keep up the good work |
