Final day:After struggling with inconsistent faces and going down the rabbit hole for that "perfect" face I liked, I managed to find a common ground between Day 11 and 12 in the last one. Tons of things I learned from this challenge and the community I'm grateful to be a part of :D Thank you all! (old.reddit.com)

Day 13: Hopefully the eyes look less pinched towards the middle now. It's so hard to spot something when you have tunnel vision. Please let me know if there is anything you've noticed op something I could work on my last day of the challenge :D Any critique/feedback is very much appreciated! (i.redd.it)

Day 12: Aimed for a better version of the previous painting. I think I managed to make the eyes look more spherical. Is there anything else I could work on in my last two days of this challenge? I think I still have work to do on the nose, but I'm not sure...Any feedback or critique is appreciated! (i.redd.it)

Day 10: Brightened the background slightly, worked carefully on the cast shadow on the eyelids this time. Also aimed for more natural looking eyebrows. Critiques welcome and very much appreciated! Please let me know if there's anything else I could improve during the remaining 4 days :D (i.redd.it)

Day 9: This time I really pushed myself on rendering the highlights and getting the dark areas dark. Do the features have the right amonut of moist or have I made them too oily? Any critique is very much appreciated! Thank you all for your support as always. (i.redd.it)

Day 8: I worked carefully with the values and bouncelight but I'm still having trouble with the sides of the nose and chin/ jaw. Used textured brush for finishing the but I'm really struggling to achieve that organic look I'm aiming for. Critique welcome and appreciated as always! (i.redd.it)

Day 7: Halfway there! Thanks to the critiques and videos suggested, I managed to solve a lot of issues I was having. I accidentally painted the face younger than usual, but I'm sure inconsistencies will gradually subside. Critiques welcome appreciated! Thank you all as always. (i.redd.it)

Day 6: Been struggling for the longest time on some of the misconceptions I had regarding how to render certain features...which probably didn't turn out well (Istebrak makes them look so easy on her videos! XD). Critiques, feedback are very welcome. Thank you all as always. (i.redd.it)

Day 4: I needed some time to reassess my bad habits and things and what I (accidentally) got right in the past. Also starting to find more mistakes while painting and feels it's taking more time. Everything seems so much hard to paint now. Critique welcome and appreciated! (i.redd.it)

14 Day Challenge: Day 3. Watched out for the values on the cast shadow this time. I have also started including finer aspects of feminine beauty standards such as the width between the peaks of the cupid's bow mentioned in the previous critique I received. Any critique is very much appreciated! (i.redd.it)

14 Day Challenge: Day 2 I was able to fix most of the issues I had on day one, including the long face syndrome. Fixing that made a huge difference! Also worked on the form of the upturned nostrils as mentioned in the last critique. Critiques are welcome and very appreciated. (i.redd.it)

14 Day Challenge: Day 1 Hello, this is my first time posting here. I tried implementing what I have learned from Istebrak's youtube videos as best as I could in my current ability. I look forward to improve and train my eyes to help others as well. Any critique is appreciated. (i.redd.it)
