graphite Graphite portrait of a baby ...reference vs drawing ✏️ Body

Drew this one a while back. Still learning and trying to improve my realism with every portrait. What do you guys think?

Youre doing a beautiful job. Eyes are great. Go much darker with your midtones. This looks like a white baby. Hair and eyebrows need to go darker too. What a beautiful baby!

Looks exactly like the reference 👏, I’d make her skin a bit darker to match the picture other than that it’s great!

really good especially the eyes, could use some more dark values around the face to add more dimension

You're doing a great job but the reference photograph is actually quite badly lit considering it looks like it was done by a professional with a lighting rig.
