Need advice

[jdawg662]

Well I'm still very new to making patterns. Wanted to do a surprise portrait for my cousin and his girlfriend. Here is what I have so far. So I'm just wondering what everyone thinks so far and if there is anything you think I should change/correct.

I'm having a rough time making the eyes look good in my opinion. But, any advice is always appreciated!!

Actually it looks pretty darned good, the eyes look ok to me, their noses and his ear might need a little work. Her nose looks a bit hooked and his looks wide, and his ear a bit big compared to the photo. If the photos were a little larger it might look better so don't take my comments too much to heart.

I think Gabby is right, your on your way to a good pattern.  You mentioned the eyes and Gabby metioned the noses.  I tried these items and here is what I would do if it were me. Ron

I think Ron nailed it, just a couple of simple accent marks changes the whole look.

Some times all it takes is a different point of view, or pair of eyes.
You asked and we answered, glad to have helped.
