Hi Sophie,

Is this a toned paper drawing. I see what could be some white charcoal on the nose, but nowhere else… It helps to give some information about your drawing and what sort of critique you’re looking for. Usually, you already know what’s wrong and just want some confirmation.

There are two proportion issues for you to check on your reference:

a. The width of the left side the of face seems like it could be too large. Check the proportions all the way along the eyes. Including the width of the nose and glabella which seem too large.

b. The lips don’t line up with the nose and the side closest to us should be bigger, not smaller than the far side. Probably if you move the philtrum to line up with the septum of the nose that might take care of everything.

I hope that helps,

Leo

Hi Leo and thanks for taking time to comment. Yes, it’s a drawing on tinted paper (ink) with graphite and a tiny bit of white charcoal ( there will be more, it’s a work in progress). I will check my proportions !!!  Thanks again a lot. Sophie
