This page is a great idea, so thank you for taking the time to do this! I’m looking mainly for help with anatomy; something feels off in this picture and I think it’s the eyes, but I can’t tell for sure. Thanks!

I agree with you – the eyes are a little bit off! In my opinion, they’re concentrated too far to the front of the face. The eyes, specifically, and the mouth, seem to be acting on a different center line than the nose. Drawing guide lines before you draw – right down the center of the face – will help you with that. 

Another thing I want to mention is perspective – in the original picture, the eyes are both the same size and shape… but at ¾ profile, the eye further from you will appear a little bit ‘squished’ or a little smaller. 

Mod Em also recently did a great redline that included a lot of info on face proportions, so definitely check that out as well!
