Description Been drawing now for about 3 months. This is my first full portrait.

OK. I think this is finished. I may have over worked some areas of the face or possibley under worked. Seems to be a bit of smugging but I'm happy with the overall drawing.

Very nice, definitely potential there. I like making the eyes the main focus of my portraits, even if it means using photoshop to highlight them. You should try make the highlights in the pupils pure white. I hope you don't mind but I had a play with your drawing in photoshop - [link]

Pretty much sorted out the white balance, and enhanced the shading and highlights. Of course It'd be better to not have to correct things digitally but I don't see a problem with it, even the slightest change of contrast for example, can dramatically improve a drawing.

Keep it up!

Wow,
That is pretty neat. The eye really pops out with the enhancement. I have every kind of eraser there is but none seem to do the job as well as I'd like. I seriously considering experimenting with whiteout.

I have no problem with you messing around with the drawings. Just give credit if you ever decide to post anywhere publicly.
