So I've made a command decision that I want to work on realistic portraits now. It's going to be hard and not at all fun, but I think it's something I need to do. So I'm going to go around taking oodles of pictures, printing oodles of pictures and using oodles of pictures that may not be exactly mine in order to draw a face perfectly. It's going to be a nusance, but if I was able to perfect my manga in four years, I want to perfect a natural face in that time.

...It's just something I want to do.

I HOPE to keep working my manga along the way, of course, but my realism will come first.

Ok, okay, so it's technically an anime website. But having been here for so long, and often expressing a need to branch out, I have finally done my first realism piece. It took me all day, and I plan on giving it to my mom when she's home from a business trip. I NEED CRITIQUES!

I'm getting lacquered tomorrow, really early, but I still would like critiques for my next drawing in this tradition. Please help! Thank you!
