Help with likeness
Hi everyone. I struggle with capturing likeness in portraits so I'd greatly appreciate any help. I probably sound dumb but I am genuinely not sure if I've done enough to capture likeness here. (I have facial recognition issues so I usually just copy reference as best as I can and I have to assume it's close enough to looking like the person I'm drawing.) I am looking for specific critique for this piece, but also if anyone has general advice on getting a likeness down I'd really appreciate tips on that too.
I also realized 6+ hours into this that my reference image was not the best quality (lesson learned for the future) and I had to supplement it with other random references, but I'll post the main reference in the comments.
Thank you, I appreciate any help at all. I have been been working on this on and off without anybody to ask for advice for over 2 months now and I am starting to lose my mind.
