    Really nice drawings, have you studied anatomy? And what Pastel pencils are you using?

    I especially like the sepia drawing, the white adds a lot, you yould even push the highlights a bit more.
    I dont know mutch about edges, but your figures feel a bit outlined. Personally what I like to see in drawings are edges, that get stronger to emphasise volumes and overlaps, but get almost lost on parts of less importence. Id try to add outlines only on the parts you want to draw the viewers attention to. You could also experiment with an background, istead of outlines to get your edges.

    Looks nice, but maybe a bit to dark overall. And the lights in the shadow areas feel a bit to light, especially on the ribs.

    Overall great job.

    Plastiline that contains sulfur may interfere with silicone. I guess you already knew that, due to you mentioning that you’ve already done some molding with silicone but I thought I’d mention it, in case that this is your first plasticine sculpt. Sadly I can’t give you advice regarding a certain technique for undercuts.

    The mouth feels a bit off.

    Because the planes the philtrum creates in the upper lip are both fairly visible it seems like the mouth is facing the viewer more than the rest of the portrait, which is in profile.

    I’m impressed nevertheless, great portrait.

    There is not much to be criticised I guess.

    The only thing I’d change is making the limbs that point back darker instead of lighter and make the background darker as well. Currently the eye is drawn to the dark parts of the figure, I like the focus more on the lights.

    I have to admid that i’m quite impressed, especially by the portrait.
