likeness

thank you

it's excellent portrait congratulations Juls

thanks so much

Excellent, I have a difficulty with this drawing, the actress is not well known to me. I have had a look at the photo on the gallery page and it looks good, the basic drawing is excellent. I think it's that difficult thing of if you kown them well you look for the thing that you can obviously see in them, and can't see why does everybody does not see her like you. I would have got over this by only painting half a face or something it's a difficult thing to overcome I call it Fan art. Now, I shall say hair, eyes, shading, lips and light excellent, likeness I have no idea. As a some help eyelashes, a little less detail more a dark spot area, entering the lids. It's excellent, I have looked at it and she looks back.

Thank you so much I agree with adding more darker area to this, and in genral I'm still mostly working on my shading, to make it look more realistic....

Shading is important but light and the way you use it will also be important. I manage to show faces of but mostly with light.
