Asked for some advice about portraits in the art discussion threads but no one seems to have answered, so thought I'd post and actual portrait I'm working on at the moment and see if anyone can point out errors.
About an hour and a bit into this and I've been trying to work quite methodically and check my measurements as a lot of the time always end up having to readjust and repaint parts of a portrait because I notice stuff is wrong half way through. Having a lot of trouble with her left eye and getting to be in the right place/shape. I think the face looks a bit too wide or too long I'm not sure sure. I check the measurements and they seem right but maybe i'm not being accurate enough. Going to carry on working on it anyway but any advice would be great. General tips on approaching a portrait just general painting technique would be good too. I'm painting this in sai with a kind of square brush pen tool just for the record. Cheers :)
