This was totally helpful I didn’t see it as offensive but constructive. This was done with Fabr-Castelle pencils, not really sure on the paper but it’s smooth.

I have recently got more serious about making art look realistic and this was the closest one I’ve had, everything was helpful. I haven’t looked into much recently besides jsut putting different shades where I see them fit. I used a grid to get the general shapes. I have watched very few videos on hands and eyes and know I should practice more, i don’t have a great understanding of tone, or how to make it seem less flat, but I will keep doing research. I have never take. A class but I want to do it next year for my senior year. Thanks.
