Or at least, that's what it was supposed to be >_>.
Sadly when I want to draw I'm busy, and when I'm not busy I don't want to...
So it's more like face of the fortmonth

Anyway...
I've taken it upon myself to practice drawing humans. I can kinda do bodies already, not great by any means, but compared to the way I draw faces it's a pretty big difference :/. So I decided I should start off practice by doing a bunch of potraits.

without further ado:

Face #1

My apologies to day9 :<

My source here was a very small sized picture, so it was pretty hard to draw.
Surprisingly this turned out better than I expected, even though it's still a piece of fail.
Had a ton of trouble doing the mouth. After it turned into fishlips over 9000 times I looked up a quick tut on google and managed something that didn't look too bad. There's some obvious errors in here like the shape of the face, the nose and the cross-eyedness...

anyone got tips?

I don't draw myself (because I can't), but I would definitely suggest using a much bigger picture especially if you're a beginner at portraits.

I think you did the eyes and mouth pretty well, but the nose it too fat and not shaped right. A bigger portrait would help though I think, easier to see the curves and nuances and shadows of the face. The face itself is a little fat too, the original guy has a thin, long face.

You can for sure draw though, kudos. Wish I could!

There was no bigger source :< And I wanted to start with that picture for sure.
I'll probably finish with the this picture as well. A comparison from beginning to end.

Sorry, but he looks kind of crazy. lulz
Anyway, the hair looks good. But his eyes,nose and mouth.. doesn't looks right
His mouth are to wide open. xD
