just work on your lines, the less lines you have to use to highlight a pose the better and faster you will get. As an example instead of lines for bot sides of a leg focus on a line that captures the pose of the leg.

Here are some head practices, I never really focused on faces before so this is all pretty new for me.

Hey man! I'll give you some feedback on those facial features.

Lips. Their volume consists of a fold between two tapering cylinders. Their outline is more of a color/texture change than a plane change. As a result, their outline is often overstated, and you can get away with representing a lot less with solid outlines, and more through careful rendering. Keep doing these from observation, and you'll see you can render these through value shifts alone!

Ears are fine, keep doing observations and using reference, as there's a huge amount of variability in their shape and form.

Good job on the rendering of the eye-mask and the nose. Once again, I know you're lining the different planes around the eye and nose prior to rendering it, but less is more. For example, the edges along the side of the nose are just soft plane changes, so a slight change in value is all you need to show it rather than a solid line.

As you practice these, you'll start seeing things less in terms of line/outline, and more in terms of planes, shape, and value. You've got a good start, keep it up!

Thanks a lot for all the feedback, I'm new to painting so I think having hard lineart is a bad habit of mine than transferred from ink-drawing and "Less is more" will definetly be a motto for me from now on :smiley:

Hey @nalbant.koray22

Nice to see exercises where you put all the "different pieces" together :smile:

I tried to overlap your piece with the reference to try to identify what could be off about it.

The things that stand out to me at first are her ear, neck and the bottom part of her face. What do you think?

If you have any pictures of the process you went through to get to the result, feel free to share them here as well :smile: It can provide some insight if there are anythings you might do differently.
