the left face's lips and ear need to be reworked , I know that for sure,.

if anyone can lend their eyes and mind I would appreciate it alot.

nice, what media you use?
on left face the eyes are tilted off horizontal but the rest of the face is level.

Thanks, I knew something wasnt right about that. It was done on the back of a really overworked watercolor portrait that I ended up soaking in water and letting bleed everywhere. The back side was really washed and had alot of nice stuff going on, the rest of it is gouache ink and a little bit of pen

bout half an hour, the size of the head seems really wrong, the closest cheek is too big/goes too far to the left? Im thinking of just painting a bunch of crazy stuff over the left side of the painting so its not as obvious, Im not sure how I can fix it

after taking a picture of it and looking at it, its so clear to me what I did wrong

ear is about half the size it should be, and the right side of the face is 2 or 3 inches too far to the right... :frustrated:

tried to apply a little more watered down ink and make it more intersting, i think this ones about killed too, time to move on and spend more time rendering the anatomy next time

big improvment
just even out the size of the eye pupils before you move on,
looks too wierd like that
(refering to the orange one)
