Lohan drawing finished!

[Rifty]

So here it is, a drawing i just finished and i soooo dislike it
but tell me what you think

Hey, no need to dislike it sooooo much. I recognize her and I think you worked out her facial expression very well!
I just think her chin is a little too big especially in comparison with her nose, which is kinda small. For me personally the lines around the eyes are a little too hard but as I just said the expression her eyes and mouth creates is really good! Another thing I like is her hair, could have more highlights and deeper shadows (i'm always into contrasts ), but probably again a question of the pencil you're using, what I wanted to say is, that you worked out the styling of her hair pretty good, that's not easy sometimes.
I'd like to know what pencils you use for your drawing!?

maybe u should try to smudge the edges carefully on the darkest shadows (exemple her right eye)... also her nose is a lil too small compared to her whole face... other then dat it looks good, keep up da work

i just caaaaaaan't draw noses xD

on this drawing i like used ALL the pencils but now i don't do that ne more



these are my pencils
i got them for my b-day so i'll have to do with them xD

I don't think it's wrong to use all your pencils, I think that way you achieve the best and most rtealistic results, because you can make shading in any sort s of grey, I also use any pencil from 5H to 5B and also an 8B (I love this pencil !!!). I just asked because it seemed to me you don't use such soft pencils which are good to make real dark areas, but now I think you're just a little afraid of shading too dark, but just look at Zindy's or my drawings and you'll see that the contrasts are a beautiful thing and make a drawing kind of expressive and dramatic.
So just be courageous and keep drawing with all your pencils and "exhaust" them, I mean don't be afraid of making areas really black or leaving some parts white!
Well and the nose-issue: You're really into tiny noses, hum ? Just kidding, also a question of training, and you do know the tricks to see if the proportions are right!?

maybe i draw little ones because mine is big >.< :P

You know what? That's just what I guessed, although I have no idea what you look like . It could really be the reason. I mean it's just we always want to draw everything beautiful, don't we? Zindy knows what I mean ! And if yo think you're nose is too big you admire tiny noses, but in reality not everyone has such a small nose, you should try and draw Sarah Jessica Parker once, you know why !

[Rifty]

whahah no you didn't get the point
i want to make it beautiful but it jus't wont come out right, it has nothing to do with my nose :P

No no I'm not convinced , of course you wanna make it beautiful, but noses are unique and not every nose might be beautiful, so give it a try and draw an ugly nose !

Ok probably it has nothing to do with your nose, than you just have to train it more and maybe focus on the nose a little more. I know from my own experience that a nose is often seen as an unimportant aspect and mostly the focus lies on the eyes, or lips, or both, but the nose is right in the middle how can it be unimportant?
Well, in your case it really is about training because I think your shading is really good and in the end that's what noses are about.

it's in the practice
i'm kinda satisfied with the last nose i have drawn
