    2. I think it looks great! If anything I would suggest more shading around the nose area, more blush on the cheeks and some shading in the nostrils. ^^
       
    3. I think they overall look nice, but some of the lines are a bit grainy, or aren't fully tapered. Do you sharpen (looks like pencils?) your pencils before you use them? Might help out with that, and maybe try varying pressure (experiment on paper! :3 ). I absolutely adore the guy's faceup, and his wig. The shades of gray are very pretty! c:
       
    4. I just started using the pencils on the eye brows and I haven't gotten good at it yet I usually use acrylics. I will work on that purhaps I need to use litghter colors. With the pencils.

      Thank you though:)

    5. I was also going to say that some of the lines look grainy. I am also not sure about your use of white lines on eyebrows/eye lids. Perhaps you are trying to create highlights? The lines just look obvious, like lines and not like parts of the skin. Maybe they need to be a bit more delicate or blended in a bit more?
      The blushing on the top head is really beautiful :)
       
    6. I love the lips on every one of them :D
       
    7. I love the top two. Gorgeous. My only minor critique is to agree that the white lines under the eyes are a bit heavy in width. Great job!
       
    8. Gee KiAN you are right about the kids, soo adorable...I like the eyebrows on the last dolly, so wispy...
       
    9. Thank you for the imput. I've been working on my skills.
      Thinking about what you guys have said lol

    10. The only thing I can think of is the eyelashes/eyebrows towards either side of the face could be more slanted. Natural hairs usually start close to perpendicular to the horizontal (at the middle of the face) and angle towards the side gradually as you move right or left. But honestly, I looked for a while and that's the only thing I'd suggest! You blend colors excellently and your faceups look so lifelike! Good luck!
