Hi Pennueng!! Welcome! Great start! You really caught her expression!:thumbsup:

IMO the eyes feel like they're floating just a little bit. Maybe try sketching the shape of the eyeball and follow the shape a bit more. I think its a great painting though just nit picking:)

[MasterPete]

Thanks for the comment, guys! Now that you pointed it out, it looks floaty.

Alright, continue on the journey.

Unfortunately, the result doesn't look like keanu reeves. Nonetheless, I learned important lesson - noise + blur + blend set up initial pores. But you still need something else - and I haven't got that yet.

All in all, one step closer! Marching on...!

I think your paintings are nice! But there are a few things you should notice. Your first concern should be getting the proportions right. Rendering the face comes second.
It seems you lost his eyes and mouth. His left eye is lower and his upper lip is more open, than they should be. The ear is also shorter. Try to pick reference points, for example his sideburns and draw his characteristics in relation to these points. Then compare these characteristics with each other and see if you made them right

How large was the reference picture?

Keep up working and i'm sure you'll do fine! :thumbsup:

Hi, your last piece is really nice, and a good combo of using ref photos and imagination :)
I think that the lighting highlight spots on the hair aren't in the correct location, although not being an expert I can't pinpoint where they should be exactly..but for instance you have both in the same spot on either side of her face, one should be higher or lower I think.

Thanks for the comment, Musashi and Roja ^_^ You're indeed right. I was having a hard time placing the shadow and that's my fault. I'll try to do better next time.
