not sure if this helps, but this is all i could do in a pinch:


...done entirely with tracing, selections, masks and paint-bucket; sorry in advance if this is unhelpful, gimp was really starting to glitch out on me half way through...

This help me understand better the nose format, besides didn't stay good for the reason be my lack of skill.

This is my character from a RPG discord server, I do this in a high canvas that I don't usually work, but since I want make more big and complex I give a try, the ear is messy because I don't know how properly make it, but first I would want a critique on the face.





This was the reference that I use, I'm not good in pick colors, so I don't know if I represent his cheek properly despite in the image it's cleary the cheek doesn't have fat and make this slope on his face. Also, I would want give more details on the cloths, put some folds, etc. Thank you!

It's really good, thanks for help.

I want to thank everyone that have the patience to teach me well, I need to read to assimilate everthing that you guys told me, but I pretend to learn more.

Special thanks for @Marie Taylor because he revive this topic.

It's good, however you don't make dynamic light and the back of eagle it's much thin that a real one.

I remade few of my hair examples and I think they get better, except the last one that it's really messy and I personally hate, it's awful for me because it's blond hair and I can't managed how to shade a full straight hair like this.



This is'nt the original reference (I lost all), but it near what I want to do.
