So...I was browsing at another forum and I saw these guys who are really talented in portrait and they inspired me to draw portraits. So I pick up a mechanical pencil, an eraser and started to draw. As you can see, I'm a beginner (this is like my 4th picture), thus, the piss poor product. I'm not satisfied with it and I want to improve, so if any of my fellow TFPers who has a keen eye for art or is a professional artist who would like to give me some tips on how to improve, I would very much appreciate it.
Well, here it is. I originally started to draw the lips only and then shade the areas around it and it doesn't seem right, so I added the nose and again it doesn't look right. So I fiddle with it some more until I got to the eyes part is where I ran out of room.
For comparison, the orginal pic.
