This kindof style you go for seems pretty good.

Obviously it's different from other sketches of this nature. You have the realism, but the hint of style - such as the eyes being large. The shading is different as well, and it can grow on you

Very good - great shading. But the large eyes are kind of spooky!

I'm just starting to learn to draw, so I can appreciate how good the shading is in this.

WOW! This looks excellent. My only thing with it is that the shading seems kind of choppy. Try angling your pencil more and soften your pressure. It should make for a creamier, smoother feel. Wow... souded like a shaving cream ad there...

Very nice I'd have to say. The eyes are a bit to huge (the left seems to far to the left). The mouth looks very good so does the facial edges (or whatever it's called)... The shadow below the mouth could have been a little lighter, but I havent seen the original picture (mirror).

Would love to see it it color
