Critiques for "Rita Hayworth"

Yay you finally posted something! Glad you are back into it. Nice work on it. I think the eyes turned out really great.

roast alert!...
if you try working from a photograph like this again, try squinting at it and just try duplicating the shapes you see. Don't think about what your drawing (like ok now i'm drawing an eye, now i'm drawing the eye lashes). If you just draw the dark shapes you'll end up with something photo real. Hope that helps.

Thanks Susie! Yes, that does help me a lot. I had every intention of trying to make it photo real, but I ended up focusing more on what I was drawing like you said, and changing it from the photo. I want to try and do another one before break is over and I will take your advice and focus on the shapes for that one. Thank you!
