Pixel Joint Forum: First try avatar

Message

   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!
