Portrait practice III

Looks expressive. If the left ear is better seen, I believe her head is slightly tilted to the right, so I would expect her left side of the face bigger and the right side smaller.

I think you did good showing the basic forms and drawing the anatomical details, however the biggest issue is the placement of the individual features in perspective.  I would recommend drawing in a line marking the middle of the face (vertical) and a line through the eyes (horizontal) to help with the placement of these features.

Thanks for all your Feedback... I will make some sessions with less detailed exercices to practice the placement and sizes of all Basic features with tillted heads in all directions.

This is a really neat render. I love the shading and the overall form, I think the only thing that stands out to me as a little off is the left cheek, I think its pronouncement is a little too much, its hard to tell if its sunken or swollen near the eye. That is the only thing that stands out, its a great piece!

I really appreciate how you're experimenting with different tones—it's one of the strongest aspects of this piece. The facial proportions are also quite solid; for example, the distance between the brow ridge and the nose is well-observed and balanced.

However, the nose does fall into a common issue I see in beginner portrait work—what I like to call the "Voldemort nose." It’s not a major problem, but I’d recommend studying the underlying shapes of the nose more closely. Nostrils, for instance, are rarely perfectly circular and tend to be a bit wider and more organic in shape.

Going back to the tonal experimentation: while I admire the ambition, I think it would help to focus more on achieving clean transitions between values. Right now, some areas are significantly darker than others in a way that doesn’t fully align with the light source, leading to some harsh contrasts. These abrupt shifts can flatten the form or create confusion in the lighting.

That said, no points taken—this is a strong piece, and you're definitely on the right track. Keep pushing yourself, especially with structure and light!
