I think I see what you're going for because the obvious thing to fix would be the eyes. The skin tones look good, and the hair is nice. The shirt doesn't need that much detail though.

Just get some light on those eyes.

Is this M by the way?

Agreed. The eyes seem rather flat

[dushans]

yes i got make more attention to the eye. i missed that.

I think the hair looks too Photoshoppy. You might want to switch up brush tips.

Mate, have a look at this basic tutorial that one of the other PJ members (Babycakes) put together.

Its ideal for what you're trying to achieve here.

Oh, okay -- well i think that, in your version, you may have eaten away too much definition and structure with your light colours. By that, I mean you have removed the depth that features like shaded cheekbones would give the image. If you work some darker tones back in to certain areas that depth might come back.

I know that Babycakes has used an 'orangey' tone to colour the cheeks on his pic -- but you haven't really blended those in perfectly yet. As a result, the cheek on the left just has a big orange blob on it. Easy to fix though.

I would also want to see some definition at the sides of her nose. At the moment her nostrils just kind of 'appear' from her face - and, although you've given a very mild indication that there's some shading, its not convincing as yet.

After that, go to the lips. I can see what you were going for with the light/shine idea - but i think it might be a little heavily done. Try making the highlights the less dominant feature of the lips.

Lastly - the eyes need some details. Try adding pupils and a reflection from your light source to start - and then see what they look like.

I think you could really bring this to life with a few tweaks.
