Title: Pencil Sketch

I don't know. I'm kind of proud of it. I seriously have no self-esteem so please make all criticism gentle on my feelings. I feel like his ear may be making an encroachment on his eyeball.

it looks to me like you should lower the peek of the noes and round it off, and push the chin out more.

add a ridge above the nose for the forehead
curve the nose more
make more of an inner curve fromt he bottom of the nose to the upper lip
ridge of the lower jaw goes up and the end of it meets at the bottom tip of the ear, so the ear needs to be waaaay further to our left
eye needs to be more up, and to the left. it sits on a ridge between the top of our nose
hope this has helped

Thanks a lot rtil, that really helps a lot.

Just one question: When you say curve the nose more, do you mean curve it into the face, out of the face or to round the tip?

curve it into the face. i don't think a rounded end of the nose would look good in this style

Here's another pencil sketch. I think I'm just going to dump my pencil sketches in here when I make them rather than cluttering up the board with new threads. Any suggestions on this sketch?

no it isn't, look at you're own neck.
Maybe it looks that way cause the shoulders are a bit too sloped.
