      This looks amazing Abbasi! You’ve pushed the textures really well, especially around the nose and the whiskers. The butterfly wing highlights are clean too.
      And trust me, noticing the tiny areas you want to fix is actually a good sign it means your eye for realism is improving fast.
      Keep going, your patience is paying off beautifully!

      Hey Abbasi! 😊
      Since you asked where to focus next, I had another careful look at your drawing. Honestly, you’ve already nailed the hardest parts. The textures on the cat’s face, the fur direction, the nose, and especially the butterfly wing highlights all very well done.
      If you want to push this even further, here are two small areas that will… Read more

      • 👏 and drawing a realistic baby is one of the hardest things to draw. You won’t believe how many portraits of my son ended up in the 🗑️

        For that reason I once asked Ali to do a tutorial of realistic drawing of a child. Lucky for me I made it…of my son. It still hangs in my livingroom to this day.

          Trying to get myself comfortable with charcoal of different integrities, it turned out well enough for me to share especially the muzzle ….

              This looks beautiful! Charcoal in dark lighting is not easy at all, and you handled the softness and transitions really well. The muzzle and whiskers are especially clean that sharp white against the deep shadow gives it a perfect glow.
              Working with different charcoal grades clearly paid off here. Keep experimenting with those subtle… Read more

                    Beautiful work, Abbasi! 👏 It’s never about the “standard” it’s always about the effort, honesty, and growth behind each piece. And this drawing shows all of that so clearly. The calm mood, and those soft pencil transitions really make it stand out. Keep creating from the heart that’s what true art is all about 💙🎨
