Hey KAH! Alright first off a little note to you and the reviewer above you, if you are going to post works, and want them reviewed, you need to review. The more reviews you do, usually the more reviews you'll get on your work, and for a review to be counted as a review it needs to be at least 250 characters ;).

So onto my review! Okay so the biggest things I saw that needed fixing were.

1) The right eyebrow. It's drawn over top of her hair. You need to fix that, if there's hair over top of your eyebrow can you still see it? No I thought not :P.

2) The fact that she has no eyelashes whatsoever. it makes her face look very blank and bland.

3) Her nose and lips need to be a bit bigger.

Other then that, it's wonderful I love love LOVE her hair!

Good job, keep drawing!

Hey Kah!

First of all, fabulous drawing to do without any looking! I would love this artistic skill. :)

Now! The nose is really small, which looks funny since it's supposed to be right in the middle of both the eyes... but it's kind of on one side instead. So make it bigger! Or, alternatively, make the eyes longer. Small noses are okay, really. It just has to be in proportion. :)

The lips don't look as fat as they should... or as long as they should. Tweak it!

And... I want her hair. She's lovely!

Hello there my friend, I'm flower and I will be your reviewer for today!

First off this is nice for just looking into your imagination, it's more than I could do.

Anyway on to the review! The first thing that caught my attention was the nose. It is very mishaped. I would suggest looking at some pictures of noses and learning what they look like on sideways portraits.

Next is the eyes. The right eye is mishaped as well, and they are very light around. It would look better if you darkened them around and gave her eyelashes. Also like is said above, the right eyebrow needs to be lowered, and doesn't need to show through the hair.

The mouth seems like she is puckering her lips, unless intended I would just make them slightly longer. They also arn't very visable.

I like her hair, but it's very stiff. It also needs to be shaded. It makes hair look really real when you shade it.

Her ear is a bit high, and it just seems to hang there.

The neck is connected a bit weird too.

By far this is nice for a look into your own imagination. Keep drawing and let me know if you need a review.

Hi there.
I draw a lot, so i'll give you a hint with your drawing piece that will make it even better.
First of all, it's an okay piece and you're shading is very good but you need to make areas darker to
make them more noticeable, for example: you need to shade in the cheek bones.
also, you need to make the nose and the lips the correct size of a human mouth and nose.
Yet considering you drew this from your imagination and it is not a real person it is actually a very good piece.
Hope this helps.
P.S in the future if you want to draw a picture of a person, do try to draw it from a photograph or a person - it's just
easier for the artist. :)

Hey there, Kah! Talked to you on chat recently, didn't I? Anyway, moving onto the review :wink:

I absolutely adore the hair, I think you got it just right. the shape is great as is the shading. I also like the lips, it looks very realistic and very proportionate.
Like BondGirl007 has said, it's not a cartoon style you were aiming for. So the eyebrow needs to be hidden. I think that the neck looks a bit funny and rather long. Also, the nose shaping really could be changed a bit more. The right eye is bigger than the left eye and it looks a bit odd, so if you could fix that it would look better.

Overall, it's very nice. Keep drawing!

Hey there, KAH!

I know, I making it a habit of reviewing your drawings. This one was impressive. I studied portraits in Year Seven and I couldn't get mine looking as good as that; and that was with someone actually there! It simply astounds me to the fact that this girl was in your imagination; wasn't it difficult to draw her without her actually being there? Well it shouldn't have been if you drew her like that! My favourite thing about this drawing is her hair. It'd done so well and for that I congratulate you! The only real thing I had an issue with was her facial structure; her eyes and mouth seemed a bit too small for a girl of her structure.

Other than that, fantastic work!

MWAHAHAHA!

I agree with all your previous reviewers! Most of the things I found that could do with improving have been pointed out, so this will be mainly positive :)
I liked this. Mainly, I liked the angle, and the way you sort of manipulated her hair so that it 'flowed', in a manner of speaking, over her ears.
A couple of things - first, the shading was maybe a little too light. Maybe make the hair more distinctly brown. I thought it was a bit of a neutral colour, myself. Apart from the eyebrow and no eyelashes (which have been pointed out already), I have only one other thing to say. And that is that her neck seems a bit too long and curved. Sort of like a goose :lol: but don't stress, it's not major.
Keep drawing, you're doing very well.
God bless,

Remember that being from your imagination doesn't make her any less real.

Nice, faces happen to be something I'm good at so I think I can give you some good pointers.
Firstly this is pretty awesome for something from the imagination. Things are a lot harder when you don't have a reference.
I suggest you keep to a side on angle. Drawing faces front on are quite a lot harder.

Shape: The shape of the face, is quite good, not perfect but good. There is nothing wrong with it. But I do believe the placement of the features could be better. When in doubt use your own face as a reference, just looking in a mirror and noting the way your own features are placed is very helpful. The nose and eyes could be placed lower, the curve and the temple should be a lined with the eye, this would naturally push the nose down.

Eyes: Since the picture is drawn at a angle the eyes should show this too. Take a good look art your own eye, you have the basics down but you are missing the eyelid line, the tear duct, etc. Personally I like to add a waterline and individual lashes... but that is not really necessary. The brows could do with more detail but the expression on the face is quite good anyway so not really necessary.

Nose: The shape is pretty good could use more detail and shading. Noses are very hard so good job.

Lips: Like the nose the shape is nice but it's lacking the detail and shading.

Tone: This need some more detailed shading and tone. You seemed to have just colored in the whole face, this is not really necessary. Shading should be only done where it is need and highlights are just as important. When drawing establish where the light is coming from and highlight accordingly.

There is a lot of empty space in this work. A face is not composed from lines but more shades or light and dark. Light tonal detail will really make it pop.

I'm getting lazy now but great work !
