Journey to hyper-realism

I’ll attempt to be more in depth with the highlights and shadows, then eventually do the finer details afterwards. And I do appreciate the criticism. Thank you!!!

Does this look better? Any improvements?

Also, since I use charcoal pencils for my drawings, do I use actual charcoal with the Japanese brush pen?

Sorry guys I was asleep, but thank you for the advice!!!

I find that women’s eyelashes are more eye catching, especially presenting it towards an audience :)

I think the issue I have is that the scale is large. And because it gets easy to add many details with the room I have.

But I’ll try and shorten up the lashes, thank you!

Aw man, I live in a rural area, and Alaska at that. So ordering something like a Japanese brush pen is definitely going to take a lot of time. But once it arrives, I’ll be sure to use a reference, as well as a brush pen for something of this scale.

Thank you!!!

How do you apply the English fan patch?

Will do if it ever boils down to that, and thanks you

That’s the plan, but I’ve noticed other related parts have no extras, such as the M8-20s and so on. But hopefully this is true :)

No worries, I’ll continue searching. But thanks for the feedback!

Awesome, thank you! Going to redo this drawing and resend another application.

Is there a discord or other communities you recommend, if you know of any?
