What's a tortillion?

A tortillion is basically a piece of paper rolled up very tight. It helps shade pencil, and occasionally its used with pastels and charcoal. It makes things look smoother than without one. I use tortillions to make human skin look smoother.They are very helpful and I suggest getting some.
I'd be happy to give some (Constructive criticism) out actually! I love to help other budding artists.![]()
You seem to have the basic structure of the face down, but I think the jawline should be a bit smoother. The left side of the face, where you can see a bit more of the jaw, should be less rounded and a bit more straight. I like how you did the eyes though. When you go over to drawing realistically from drawing Anime and Mange etc etc, the eyes are probably the hardest. Sometimes, when doodling, I'll get lazy and draw anime-ish looking eyes just because I don't want to have to go into the extra trouble of trying to draw them like they look real. Anyways, to make the eyes look more "real" make them a bit less round. Remember, eyes should look more like lemons, instead of oranges. (I have major trouble trying to make eyes look good, so don't worry about not getting it right away.)Don't worry about the lips though. I absolutely hate drawing lips, its my least favorite part about drawing. That and eyes. Goodness, last night I spent an hour trying to perfect an eye I was drawing, and even now it doesn't look all that great.
If I were to change anything about the lips, I would make the mouth a bit longer in length. Not by a whole lot though.
I hope this helps!
Thanks Katie!
