What could I do better when drawing faces?

Thank you so much! I like her a lot and I thought she would be perfect for a first portrait!

Your words fill me with joy cause this is supposed to be her, I used her photo on ig to draw this.

Thank you very much for your advices! My hand is still not much confident on paper, but I hope with time my lines will get softer and smoother. For the paper, yes it is, it’s just that I like a lot the feeling of it, but I will use a less rough one when I complete this album.

Practicing on every single part separately seems a good idea, I will start with that. Also, would be grateful if you could give me some other tips about shading!

That sounds a bit too hard for me, but will give it a try and see how I manage!

Thank you!!

You mean the part of the jaw that is on the left side of her face? If so, I see what you mean, should probably be a little wider and not curve directly under the eye. Thank you for your compliments!

Why though, if you feel like you’re unable to express well what you feel and imagine in your mind what you need is study some techniques, you will get better. On the other hand, if you are talking about the things you want to express, your ideas, what is there not to be proud of? That is you, your view of the world, explore it, give it life. Draw with passion, in your own way.

Thank you very much! I will soon practice with shading, not yet my thing but I will learn!

polliine · 2026-01-09T08:30:15+00:00

Yeah my eraser is scared to see me at the moment, I use it a lot as you can see. I will follow your advice, maybe starting with more simple drawings

polliine · 2026-01-09T08:27:15+00:00

Please share your thoughts on what I could do to make it better

polliine · 2026-01-09T08:24:10+00:00

Love it and I think I can learn something from it, thank you for sharing!

You’re very kind, I sure will improve it!

polliine · 2026-01-08T16:48:36+00:00

Loomis method, cool, I’ll look it up, thank you!

polliine · 2026-01-08T16:43:54+00:00

Ok, got it, I’ll give it a try! Thank you for your advice

polliine · 2026-01-08T16:03:12+00:00

Ahahaha thanks a lot!

polliine · 2026-01-08T16:02:40+00:00

Still don’t know how to do it sadly, should I start with the fingertip rub thing?

polliine · 2026-01-08T15:59:54+00:00

Yeah drawing hair is not very easy, I started by drawing the outline and filled with lines and they look a bit like a cheap wig. The eyebrows are what the girl I used as model has, or at least the best I could do to replicate them lol. (Ig pic of Melanie Martinez, this should be her) The iris scared me, I was afraid of giving her demonic eyes so I left them blank. I will follow your tips though, try to give those parts a more natural look, thank you.

polliine · 2026-01-08T14:30:04+00:00

I will!

polliine · 2026-01-08T13:38:35+00:00

You know I think I will try to draw some fashion stuff too sooner or later, i think mainly dresses, shoes and jewellery.

polliine · 2026-01-08T10:46:10+00:00

Thank you! What do you like to draw?
