[jvila]

This drawing is based on a picture of my son Mauricio who also published his drawings in this forum.
Comments, critics and advices are welcome.
Thanks in advance

I uploaded the jpg for pepole who still not use XARA

Actually very good, well done.
Only two things bother me, the eyes and the xara tiled background.

Here I send th original picture, regarding eyes I couldn't get a better result, may seeing de picture you can send me some tips.
Thank you very much for your comments.

Rather than creating an exact copy of the photo in Xara Xtreme, I think what I might do is to find an additional photo where the eyes are not so dark and which show more detail then draw & use those (eyes) in my first drawing.

I agree sledger, good tip

There have been one or two excellent tutuorials in the http://www.xaraxone.com/ on drawing eyes. I think they were guest tutorials. I am too tired and lazy to look for them at the moment. Maybe somebody, smarted, kinder and with more energy can get you a little closer.

maybe this is the link John is talking about
if you look on the web there are some good tutorials but most are for photoshop
greetings nice work

How about brightening the image a little bit.
