Description I recently made a little list in my journal on things I need to improve with my art.
In that list I mentioned I need to work more on realistic drawing and using references so I dug up a photo of a five years young me. [link]

I'm afraid it doesn't anything like the photo but at least it looks human That's a start, right?
I guess it's my own fault for never ever using references in the past. I can start out seriously looking at the photo but in the end I always continue solo in my head... More practice is needed O_<;

It looks absolutely adorable! You were a cute kid. It's pretty dam good, only slightly, ever so slightly off the marker. I envy you - I draw too much off real life instead of drawing from my imagination.

Even if it doesn't look like you, it still looks really nice. Children are so hard with their proportions and smooth, sort of fat little faces...You really caught expression here, and nice work on the details of the eyelashes and things. the inner eye itself feels a little less realistic than the rest of the face. Perhaps those stark white circular highlights? Anyway, I look really forward to seeing more stuff like this from you! You're a very talented artist in many areas!

Thank you! Yes I agree with you on the eyes. I've been drawing to much "manga-stuff" so it was hard to get it right.

Anne, this looks BETTER than the photo. I"m glad you trimmed the bangs and shortened the smile. It looks calming and happy to me. You did a wonderful job. Would like to see more like this in the future.

Wow, thank you! Yeah, I had to trim the bangs because it just looked strange with it hanging over the eye.

There is certainly a resemblance between your picture and the photo.
I really like the lips and the hair.
Good work!
