My first sketch

[1stStrike]

After looking at some of the other artists on here, there's some amazing stuff. So, I've decided to take a shot at it. I call this my "tutorial drawing" as I used techniques and ideas from various other drawings to do it. Yes, I made quite a few mistakes. I tried to give the cheeks some color by smudging them but I think I went a little overboard.

I know..it's bad. But any ideas/comments on how to improve it would be appreciated :)

lol yeah i can see it showing through.
im absolutely crap at drawing so i cant really give any pointers...but maybe summin to do with the lips coz they look funny ^___^

WHOA, those eyes are HUGE. Also the mouth is too close to the nose. And you might wana fix the hair at the top.

i'd say unless you're going for the hair over the eyes look, shorten the hair. the face seems slightly .... scrunched? maybe move the mouth and nose slightly lower on the face, that might help

it's a good start though

thanks ^_^

i wanted to try a fully body drawing after that one but it didn't exactly come out looking that well. i've never been able to draw a full human body even though I was in art for 3 years in highschool :P
