Re: From lips to lady
The shadowing on the face and especially the jawline looks like the underlying bone structure is masculine rather than feminine. A feminine jawline has a shorter shadow on the side of the face indicating a more fragile bone beneath it. The same can be said for the brow ridge, although of course, there are exceptions to the rule on bone structure of course. The absence of eyebrows, and the heavy eye makeup makes the woman look a bit stern, adding to the pronounced ridges under the nose. Draw what you know. Like authors who right about what they know, do better.
The hair is rather good. And the skin color is good. Take a look at some faces in magazines, etc., and see what makes a pleasing female face to you. Symmetry: it is more intersting when the pose is less than dead on.
Keep on posting. It will improve.
Every day's a new day, "draw" on what you've learned.
