CoreyH Thanks for stopping by! The hard line around the lips does bother me - I'd been exploring the shape and trying to get it down and had pressed too hard, then when I finally found the shape I was looking for I had to press harder to show it (then it was a deep gouge that I wouldn't have been able to erase >.<). Basically just bad technique on my part (drawing portraits is really tough for me, I have to think so hard a lot of the basics get pushed aside). Interestingly I was reading an article about using value instead of line for portraits just before I read your comment! Looks like we're in rhythm dude! Some more portraits incoming soon ^__^
