My first real attempt at realism.. It's supposed to be Bruce Dickinson in a leather jacket.. I still have a long way to go, but I think i'm doing ok. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Damn......I suck....

This is a pretty good start. It is good that you are working from dark to light.

The one major tip that I can give you is that you should paint much larger. It's extremely difficult to create realism on such a small scale. The head should be taking up most, if not all of the canvas size. Working with tiny little brush strokes makes it much too hard to see. Look at some of the good realism paintings on this website. You will see that the subject matter is very simple, and the artists makes full use of the canvas size.

Thanks alot, Artiste... I plan to make a bigger one more close up now.....

Looks good

Try breaking the picture down to it's basic shapes,
And then draw it with shapes until you think everthing is in the right place.
Now you can start addind detail and value.

1. Block it in
2. work the whole pic at once, don't work on one area more than the rest.
3. detail should be put after blocking in and base values are complete.

The other layer thing is fantastic.

Thanks! :)

I see the tree and leaves but the first thing that I saw was veins on the person/child themselves. It looks like a picture of self reflection. It's stunning. That eye is wonderful.

Thank you Sweetcell.

Thanks for the critique, Axil. I appreciate you putting your time in to look at my art. I probably won't fix it, but now I noticed a few things that I should have realized while I was drawing it.
As for the "downplay", I don't know if you noticed, but the original drawing on here was about six minutes. I think that could be called a doodle. I was just too lazy to change the name. So CALM DOWN. :)

Very interesting...The colors are cool, yet have warm undertones, which is kind of beautifully conflicted, as is life. I'd say alot of life is being and figuring out who you are. I sort of see energy and octupus tenticles. If you could give some explination, I'd appreciate it.
I like the back ground splotchy/organic texture.

The colors are great, and i agree with LisaAnne this is very interesting.
