Now that I'm out of class I'm going to be doing commissions. If you want me to do a portrait for you just send me an email. :D

Just so it's clear my attempt at drawing the elvish moon was inspired by this amazing drawing and poem that ValkyriaCrafts did. You should most definitely check their stuff out.

My goodness your art is incredible! How have you not gotten big? Keep up the good work!

😭 omy gosh thank you so much!

Thanks a lot for faving! I really appreciate it! :D
Thanks so much for the favourites! Great work btw.
I see you grid some of your drawings, I would advise doing a slighted smaller grid, you'll find it really helps nail down the finer placement and sizing of eyes. And if you're feeling particularly lazy with the grid, just increase the amount of squares on the boxes that cover the eyes. Really helped me.
Do it all the time now after I gave my sister a portrait that I didn't grid and her face was a little bit wonky in places :/ still we live and learn
I hope this critique is accepted with an open mind. I see that u love drawing portraits and they are very nice, however u arent using enough dark values. Experiment with 7b, 8b, or even 9b. These will push the contrast and values of ur drawings. Charcoul can be used for the eyes to make them even more contracted. I hope this help you inprove:)
Yeah :/ I'm not really good at using actual sketching pencils. Normally I just use a hb mechanical pencil but I've been trying to at least start using the softer lead sketch pencils so that I can get the darker blacks. And thank you for your ideas! I actually like getting critiques because I'm teaching myself do it always helps me to get ideas and techniques from others :D
