Rate my first mc drawing!

[Alexander M]

As an artist myself, I would rate this a mere 6/10.
The reason I gave it above average is because it's good for a beginner.
The hair is really nice, but could be touched up with detail and different types of shading & color.
As many people stated, I don't understand why he's shirtless. . . .
As for everything else, it looks good overall for your first picture.
What I suggest improving on
-
Eyes
Nose
Shading
Color
Mouth
-
Don't be afraid to look up tutorials!

Over all 4/10, low quality shading and very basic, but for a first attempt, 9/10

I'm sure it will be just be sure to add a definite light source and base the shading from it.

My suggestion: Make a sketch first, and then make the lines really nice.
Look at this video:

That's what I did

Do you see the difference? Line art is really important for the rest of your piece.

That's what I did

Just undo it until it's perfect (ctrl+z)

I already explained why the line art was messy, read the post. It's Ctrl + alt +z in PS btw
