Hi all, So I've tried for the first time to create a forum Avatar image, but it feels crude and unfinished. Any suggestions on basic newbie mistakes ? Also I'm struggling a bit with the mouth and if there should be any glimmer reflection on the shades, any suggestions?  |

Forehead is too small. Like literally no space for brains.  |

| Hehehe... Wow, yeah I thought it looked a bit "flat". Thanks for the eye-opening perspective comparison. Guess it is hard to do anything about in the current setup other then to redo with better proportions. I will be back :-) |

Don't know if it got better, or just bad in another way....

The hairline is still very low! Do you have a reference photo of yourself? That would probably help a lot with this artwork! As for basic newbie mistakes, the outlines and hairs are very jagged, you should clean that up!  |
