Thanks buddy! Started a few times to improve the face parts, but it was horrible!
Then I started from scratch. I think it was the right way!

yeah working from a blank space is better than trying to improve what is there

I'm not sure they care much about copyright but... At least, they don't pretend it's their work

Thanks for your comment. Could you please explain me exactly what you mean? Teeth? Lips? I'm working so long on this painting. I don't see what's wrong and what's correct anymore!

Hello Italiener.
First off, good job on the overall work. I have a couple comments, please accept them as they are meant, an honest attempt to help improve the work, not a criticism of it.
I believe that there is more than just the mouth that has a bit of a problem and it has to do with the angle of the face. From the jawline, positioning of the headphone and the nose the face appears like it should be in about a 3/4 profile similar to this stock photo [link] Using that photograph as a reference take a look at the amount of space between the eye of the left side on your picture compared to the right side on the stock photo. When you compare the anatomy it looks like you have moved the eye to the left of the drawing. It appears like you are trying to draw the face as if looking directly at it instead of having it tilted to the side.
Secondly if you look at the how far over the mouth comes on the left side of your picture and again compare it with the right side of the stock photo you will notice that in order to open the mouth as far to the side as you have in the artwork would require surgery. Again it looks like you tried to draw it straight on rather than curved to the side.
And I agree with ullface that your other work does not appear to have this problem. Again good job overall and keep up the good work.

Thanks for your comment. You're right. Especially the angle of nose and lips are incorrect. Also her back teeth must be placed higher, cause her head is downwardly inclined (hope that is correct english... ). It is a mystery to me why I haven't seen it before - and others do. My self-confidence is gone...
Right now I'm trying to fix it. I think I need some days for it!

Now you do and can improve it. Such is the nature of art. I look forward to seeing the revision.

pretty much what 'jhgoforth' said in his comment. I still think it is really good though. The colours and lighting and skin tone is great. I wouldn't worry too much, just move on to the next one if you want to practise this style.

i see it as well. I think it has to do with the distance between the nose and the bottom of the chin being too short. it's a bit too compressed and makes it look warped. The teeth are also anatomically incorrect and are not following the upper jaw as it should (too much curve I suspect) as well as no variation in tooth shape (remember, we have canines and box shaped cuspids, etc). The combination of those things kind of throws the face off. otherwise, technique is very strong and well executed. the only real anatomical issues i see are the lower jaw volume ones mentioned.
