nice work

Very good, although the construction lines are not ideal! it does not spoil it. It just shows the viewer your method and technique. All drawing is a prelude to painting, so they would help as a first draught when preparing a painting. Your likeness drawing is very good although you have small faults with your shading. I should say to much shading on the face, think light and shade! First pick a direction then the light falling on the nose from that direction. Ok I wount go on any more, as the other day I did a long piece to someone and they didn't what any help, if you do? then just reply and ask. I'm away for a little while but I will repy. Good likeness and you have talent.

thank you both! and i'll definitely take that into consideration next time. thanks!
