Honestly, if the centerline were closer to the reference and the philtrum/vermillion border were brought down and flattened a little respectively, it would be nigh on perfect.
It’s just those two tiny details have a crazy knock on effect for recognizability. You’re on the money in pretty much every way besides 🥳

Thank you! I'm enjoying finally focusing on my art. I've only been planning to do it for 3+ decades...

Your painting has more of a "say what again" expression.

One day I hope for that to be intentional

Agreed 😅 Still better than I could do in a month of Sundays, though.

Meanwhile I think this looks great compared to my stick figures

Don't knock stick figures! It's where we all get our start. I would draw epic battles with dozens of em shooting each other when I was young.

Not bad. Is this digital or on paper?
Also I think you could make it like 30% more accurate by just making the forehead shorter

Oh great point! I didn't notice that.
And digital. These were all painted on my phone.
