nice..👏

[@kathleenstoin671]

Your drawing is nice, but I would suggest higher contrast in your shading. The overall drawing is good, though.

[@yetti_sn]

Thank you for your kind words and feedback. I will work on the contrast for sure ☺

[@hellharsh8680]

Why dont you use darker shades?
More contrasting portraits are generally more appealing to the eyes

[@yetti_sn]

General feedback is that I need to go much darker on my drawings, I will work on that thank you.
