Realism attempts??? (No references used 😅)

Question

Answer

This is so good!! I love drawing but when it comes to realism I've never been able to do it without a picture reference of some kind. I love the expression the first girl is making, it shows so much emotion. You're an amazing artist^^

Answer

I love it! You certainly have the means to draw realistic portraits with more practice. Practice makes perfect.
If you want, I just released a website with some progress photos of portraits I’ve done in the past. My hope is that it helps show people how to “achieve” the portrait. Or at least how it started, and which techniques can be used.

Those drawings look awesome! But bb don’t get into the habit of attempting realism without a reference. You’ll only be disappointed. I’ve been doing realism for years. I know how anatomically all the features fit onto a face. But it is impossible to draw realistically and accurately just from memory. This was an attempt of mine (a person with much realism experience) to draw without a reference

For the most part, it’s anatomically correct, but I didn’t have anything to base the details off of so it ended up stylized looking. 
You can tell that I genuinely used a reference image for this piece because it looks real

I’m not trying to toot my own horn, but these things work, man. And it’s not a bad thing to use references. In fact, the only way to truly improve is by using references. In fact, there was this guy, I don’t know if you’ve heard of him, named Vincent Van Gogh. Yeah, I heard he was a pretty good artist and he used reference pictures. Anyway, to summarize: you are a wonderful artist, references are good, and you got this, dude

Answer

Bruh with no reference this is pretty nice. Not realistically accurate, but it’s still a very nice style. Idk about you but I love it
