For a first attempt it's really good!
You got the proportions right and you thought about shading and light
Keep up, and I'm sure you'll even improver more

You're getting a good sense of realism here! The proportions are great, and you've managed to get some good light and dark tones.

Thank you so much! I did take a little more care with the light and dark tones!

You're welcome! 
The extra tones sure paid off, there is one thing I'd like to point out in this drawing however; perhaps Harry's nose is a little too rectangular? Maybe next time you might want to make it rounder, you can have a look at photos if you aren't sure what I mean.
But considering it's your first attempt, it's awesome, keep going!

ah yes that nose was giving me grief, I was literally crying over it for hours! Yes, next time I will try and make it more rounder. WHY RADCLIFFE, WHY THE HARD NOSE??? In my opinion anyway!

Don't worry, noses are pretty difficult. I think they're the hardest facial feature.
I was probably still drawing those sideways flat noses at your age, so you're doing very well!

I know right. Every time I draw a person, it;s either eyes RUINED. Or nose RUINED. It sucks.
Thank you very much for saying that! Everyone at school compliments me at school when we are drawing a person-it's observational so we draw each other!
I think everyone could draw realistically-here is my theory:

I have seen other people's drawings, and they are good BUT.........
They don't draw the position that person is in. Just the main looks which tell you who it is. Otherwise they draw them as if they are looking at you...
So every time they draw (But they are ALL good) They draw the same face different eye color, maybe change the lips depends on gender, and add the right hair and shoulders (They are very big drawings) So that's my theory!

Pretty annoying, huh? What gets me is I can't always get eyes level, it drives me insane. 
You're welcome! That's great! I'm glad people like your artwork. 

I think you're probably right, they get the obvious features like eye and hair colour, but tend to forget details. I think it also depends on whether they want to draw or not, it's not for everyone, and everyone has a talent or something they love doing.

Ooooh eyes my worst drawing feature!!!
Yeah I haven't pointed this out cause in school, If you make a critique you are seen as if you are mean so I just shut up on that subject and compliment their work.
I think that's true though the girls all love art, though they are more into painting. I really can't paint!

MaddyluvsCats1 In reply to Mockingjay360 [2014-05-17 09:44:54 +0000 UTC]

I love to draw and paint eyes, but I do find it tricky to get them even on faces, that's all.
Yeah, be very careful about what you say, people do get offended sometimes.

That's great! I love to paint too, I think I'm starting to prefer it over drawing. You should try painting, I couldn't do it until I started very recently, as in about 2-3 weeks ago. You'll improve with every painting, but if you like drawing more, then I'd go for it!

I have tried painting and it wasn't terrible for a first proper try...it's just that whenever I paint all the colours run everywhere!!

Ooh, exciting! It's getting cold here, so no more swimming.

Well, I hope you enjoy your party!

Yawn. Morning! Well it's morning here! Yeah the party wiped me out, there was this gigantic inflatable thing which you had to get across, I thought it looked easy....but I kept slipping off! CD eh but I managed it, though one of my friends had to instruct me from the water!

Really early here now! I get up so early.

Sounds like fun! I like swimming sometimes

I went ice skating with my friend and taught her some stuff. I do figure skating, so....

ooh ice skating! I've never tried it before just normal skating. that wasn't bad once i got used to it, though i was only comfortable with furniture which I could cling onto!

You did it inside?

Ice skating is fun! But it takes a long time before you're really comfortable with it.

Oh, right!

It takes a long time to get the hang of it, I've been skating for about 2 and a half years and I am no where near mastering it!
