pencil portrait for critique

[espritgong]

Hi,
I think I just posted my drawing on the wrong forum, so here again I post it.
I would really appreciate some feedbacks !
Thank you

Wow striking portrait. 🙃 I think that perhaps her right eye is a little big (it’s the furthest eye from us) and both eyes a little big in general. But obviously this is just my opinion and I can’t speak to likeness. Perhaps it’s correct.

Definitely I have to work on proportions (amongst many other things…). So, thanks for the feedback Nic.

Oh she is very lovely!

The first thing that I notice might need more attention is her ear. I know it is in shadow, but I think you should still be able to see the shapes and deeper shadows of the ear.

Thank you for sharing this piece with us!! 🙂

Thanks for the valuable advice Annie !

Hi!

I love looking at this! Her features are beautiful! Just one thought I had – soften the cheek bone edge a bit where it meets the hair and drops down – I’m sure it is a defining feature of her face but it feels a little harsh.

Really beautiful work!
