Hi Kassatay — thanks for commenting in my sketchbook and offering the suggestion — I appreciate it!
You mention here that you sometimes don't feel confident about your art — but I'm actually VERY impressed!
Your portraits are really nicely done — you have a great sense of light, form, color, and value — and you've clearly been doing a lot of work with studies etc.
I'm glad you tried a piece from imagination — which is a skill that can be developed like anything else you've put your mind to.
As for a suggestion — don't be hesitant to use references once you begin a piece from your imagination — most of the great artists I've read about turn to them to get details right — and it really helps.
Anyway — keep up the great work — you have a LOT of talent!
