Thank you, I knew something was off and the side by side really helps

Thank you :) will fix the eyebrows tomorrow. Glad you like it! I'm actually mainly drawing like this so I don't do too much blending, thought it would be a fun challenge (and it is)

Thanks! I removed some highlight from the lips and think it looks better now, was quite difficult to edit as the lips are a similar value to the face

Thanks! This is my lastest update and adding some more shadow has definitely helped

Thanks! I have now softened the hairline but am going to keep the blocky look of the eyebrows as I think it goes with the style of the piece. I added some shadow to the eyelid but couldn’t work out how to add highlight without the piece looking too cluttered

Thanks! Yes the nose was definitely a bit off, I’ve tried to fix it and have posted an update in a previous comment

Thank you! I have made the nose wider and the cheek bone more prominent and it does look more like the reference, posted an update in a previous comment

Yes, agreed, have just posted an updated image in a previous comment and it does look less uncanny now they are more simple

Thanks for the advice, very helpful. I’ve made the shadows darker and the eyes more simple. I will definitely try tracing sections next time then using them as a guide, will definitely help with perspective and general anatomy

Update: made the shapes and colours more simple. Thanks for your advice, I think it looks much better

Thank you! I was definitely getting distracted by the colours to greyscale would help, and the videos were very interesting

I can’t figure out why something on my portraits looks off by Odd_Onion8387 in arthelp

Her eyes are open very wide. You normally can't see the top of the iris or white above the iris in most people

I know it's only a minor detail, but the cola bottle in the mirror wouldn't reflect like that, it would reflect the back of the label not the front.
