PP is failing me. sad
Summer is when I try to improve the most, but the computer my tablet is on is currently not working.
This is the only picture I was able to complete.

Wanted to try something different (never done darker skin)
Other than the obvious eye fail (the one that's like wayyyy over there >>> ) what should I work on?
and I forgot to color in the eyebrows, oops

Wonderful work smile
I especially like the shading on the nose/cheeks/philtrum and lips.
You've mentioned the model's left eye not being aligned with the right, but the anatomy's swell apart from that.

In terms of shading..I believe going with the realism look, maybe alittle more shading under the lower lip/chin section might help delineate the lip from skin, and as well as adding some shadows on the skin area beneath the hair bangs for that 3D look.

Overall, a good effort. I look forward to your future works. wink

This is a sketchbook forum. You're much better off formatting it as in the forum guide and posting an images to the thread as you go.
