Still working on this, as is obvious, but need help. Just comments and stuff, its a work in progress. I'm still not out of the ones digit on how many things I've made with wacom, but I think I'm getting a hold of it. I used Painter Classic. All feedback is heavily wanted.

Here goes:

Right now the things I notice are that either the eyes are both too far to the left or the nose is a little too far to the right. The nose also looks a little too simplistic, a little too round and not any real strong evidence of the nostrils. Also you have a strong contrast on the right side of the nose but no other contrast which makes the nose look as if it's angling back toward the face. The lips look a little too small, either that or they're a little puckered. The left side of the face looks a little too wide. And lastly (which is not a huge deal since you said it was unfinished) the ear and the hair look real flat and unfinished right now.

you just need a little more accuracy with facial anatomy and some more contrast with the colors and shadows and a little more work on the unfinished areas. Keep on crackin' away. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the advise, really does help. Yea, I honestly have no idea how to do hair, but then again I havent put any work into that area. I have gotten decently good at moving body parts, I'll take into account what you said. Also, your right about the contrasting, was trying to make it look like there was a nose without drawing a black line. Thanks alot of the help, I'll be sure to post this when I'm done
