    • The eye brows and eyes look a little took sharp, I know that sharpness might fade as you go but something to be mindful of. Also, what medium are you using, Charcoal or graphite?

    • hair is looking good well done

      • The face is a little more “puffed” on the right side

        • Please enhance the nice small

        • Would love some thoughts and advice on this project. I can get my work to around 70% of the reference image. But i need to get it more realistic.

          • Looks great. I think it needs more contrast

              Daniel, this is a really thoughtful piece of work, and 70% is much further than you may feel when you’re looking at it closely. The details are already doing a lot of the work. Now try stepping back from the drawing and checking it from a distance. Look for the areas where the reference has its deepest darks and compare those with your drawing.… Read more

              • Ja cheryl heeft gelijk het mist de donkerte, verder heel goed gedaan!

                • if i wasnt looking at the reference i would think thats bloody good

                  reference sort of makes it to light when compared and the left side hair may be a bit fuller saying that i love it👍

                • Less than 2 month progress

                  Happy with the progress. But next stage is hyper realism 👀🫣😅

                  • This is a great improvement in just 2 months, I wish I will be able to get to this level of drawing 🤞

                    • wow well done you nice picture

                      • Very nice progress. Well done!

                        • Your hard work has paid off! Great progress!

                            Daniel, you’ve made brilliant progress here. Your graphite shading is looking much more controlled, especially in the way you’re building the darker values. As you move toward hyper realism, keep paying close attention to the small transitions between light and shadow. Those subtle changes will make a big difference.

                          • Spiderman current project. Any ideas on how to level this up? I need to blur the ear and aide of the hair …… but not sure where else to adjust

                            • Very well done Daniel. It will help to darken the background to give the overall drawing more contrast. It will make all of the rest of your drawing stand out more.👍

                              • yes i think Larry is right i also think more skin texture on the face although looks good to me

                                👏

                                • Wirklich gut gemacht. 👏

                                • Advice on spider man would be great 🙏🙏 i felt the skin shading was in a good place so i added aome highlights and subtle daeker alin pours…… but its not quite right

                                  Any advice on removing masking tape from art work? I de-tact the sticky side before apllying but it still ripped the paper. I started removing it slowly but it just ripped it up……. So then it was ruined so i just pulled it off quickly 😅

                                  • In one of the video (I don’t remember which one) Ali mentioned make it less sticky by sticky it somewhere repeatedly first, like clothes

                                    • Sorry about your masking tape dilemma Daniel. You did a great job on drawing Mr. Chan. That has to be disappointing.

                                      If you use drafting tape instead of masking tape that will never happen. Drafting tape is a little more costly, but it is worth it.😏

                                      Daniel, that is such a painful way for a drawing to end, especially when Jackie is waiting for one of your portraits. The portrait itself is really impressive though, so don’t give up on it just yet.

                                      For the torn edge, you might be able to carefully trim away any loose fibres with small scissors, then consider reinforcing the back with archival… Read more

                                      • wow not only a very good drawing but Jacky Chan was going to sign it i have watched a lot of his films when i was younger and training in martial arts always wanted to meet him alas i am now to old to be jumping around like i used to good memory’s though so for your predicament good job on portrait though👏

                                        • Is brilliant!!

                                        • Latest update of jackie chan 👀🤣🤣🫣 i need to add more skin texture and detail to make him older. Any major strucutal issues? To me it doesnt look like him at all…….. but ive been staring at it for about 6 hours and my eyes are playing tricks on me

                                            This is coming along really well, Daniel. I think you’re closer than you feel. Take a break and look at it again with fresh eyes, because six hours is enough to make anyone doubt their drawing! 👀

                                                              Very good start. You might check your eyes and cheeks against your grid reference. They seem to be off just a tad. Some times it helps to make your grids around critical areas like the eyes, half the size of the regular grid size, so you have more control of details. I have done that myself, and it helped a lot in getting…

My recent projects lacked depth in values, so here i have tried to push the values a little more. Im not sure if i have over done it though. Also when i start to add skin pours and highlights it makes the image very messy ans dirty looking. So i have smoothed over…

                                                                It might pay for you to take a look at the Pencil Drawing Masterclass. It is chucked full of artistic info on how to draw hyper realistic drawings.
