Need some honest opinion on a rough draft of a portrait I made. This is my first drawing doing a portrait of my nephew.

Good.
Honestly? That’s not bad. With some training and practice you could be a pretty good artist.
Nobody is awesome the first try.
Nailed the stoned as fuck look..
Well done!
It could be worse. I really like the nostrils
Teeth look spot on. Well done
I’m guessing you meant *nephew/son*…
It reminds me to initial-D artstyle tbh
Portrait is perfect, how long has your nephew been on meth?
I did NOT give you permission to use my likeness. My guy-who-looks-like-a-lawyer will be contacting you shortly. Or at least someone who looks like you.
OP, just in case you’re serious, I have one recommendation: pick up “Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain”. A few of the exercises take you through really effective ways to draw copies of existing pictures. The only artistic knowledge the author assumes is that you know which end of the pencil makes marks and which one takes them away.
I swear it looks like it was traced
Bubby Child!
Done in the style of Beavis and Butthead, which works well here imo
Absolutely nailed it and I’m not even sarcastic about it. I take one look and I immediately know “that’s the same person.
All because the important details are preserved and shown nicely.
Remove the face shape and it’s still the same guy
Not bad! It resembles him a lot which is the biggest hurdle even for people with a ton of experience. If you want constructive criticism I’d say focus more on where the face shape belongs. The right side (our right not his) of the lips and nose droop down too low and are too far from the edge of his face, and his left side has the lips far too close to his jaw line which needs to be moved out past the outside corner of the eye. You actually don’t need a line next to his eye at all. In life that would just be defined by the hair that’s not in the photo. The jaw line should stop below and to the left of the mouth from this perspective
Roll tide
This has to me the most awarded comment section I’ve ever seen. Very rich portrait.
Had to double check sub title…thrice!
Someone please edit a Wanted poster, Dead or Alive, with that drawing on it
Pretty good, really! You def captured his “essence”.
Look good, i burst out laughing when i first saw this post lol
So many kind comments. People can be gentle and kind.
It doesn’t hurt to try and embellish your subject a bit. Your cousin isn’t the best looking dude and I’m not saying to draw him like a super model but find a happy medium. He would definitely appreciate it more and so would anyone else who sees it. Unless you’re going for realism, in which case he’s not an attractive guy but you just did him dirty. Mostly it’s the teeth that are bothering me. His are not nearly as bad as you portrayed them. For a first time portrait this is way better than I would be capable of. I’m just trying to be real with you.
The artist accidentally signed their real name, then promptly had to tear it off the picture’s bottom left as to not dox themselves. Well done.
not bad! definitely better then anything i would ever be able to draw. lol
Is your nephew Sloth from The Goonies?
Look at this drawing of my nephew. It took me like three hours to finish the shading on his upper lip. It’s probably the best drawing I’ve ever done.
Really damn good. You perfectly captured the cryptid in him
Portrait is perfect
I genuinely thought that was the kid leo plays in what’s eating Gilbert grape lol
It does look like him. Just try to make his teeth look better than they actually are. Those bottom ones can stay hidden under his lip.
Your nephews not doing so hot.
You just drew a meme
I would get this tattoo
when police hire a cheap artist for the sketch of a criminal.
10/10 man go for it!! Next time we see this should be in r/shittytattoos!! 🤙😎
acquire a new nephew
The portrait is not totally off, in that it contains some key clues for resemblance such as the shape of the nostrils and the mouth opening, as well as the pronounced eye lids. The proportions need more attention. The chin almoust touches the mouth, the right eye touches the edge of the head in the drawing. The drawing is not symmetric (neither is the head in the photograph , but in the other direction). In my experience, the mouth and the lips are a quite important feature when it comes to resemblance. You haven’t drawn lips at all, the teeth have too much space in the drawing. They are a key feature, but “less is more” (Ludwig Mies van der Rohe).
If you want to pursue portraying further, my advice is to grab an online tutotial such as [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAOldLWIDSM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAOldLWIDSM) (The Loomis head is my favourite in this issue) and practice, practice, practice…. And don’t let people discourage you.
Well… can’t say it “looks good”… 🫤
I think no matter how you draw him, it’s still going to look like a 5 year old did it.
I thought it’s one of those police drawings
“No Regerts”
The pic reminds me of the main villain from MIB.
Wait, which one is the original photo? Resemblance is un-fucking-canny.
I really hate to break it to you man but…, your couson got hit hard by that Alabama face….
I know, tis a cruel fate
Looks like an AI generated hillbilly
You made him look worse and that’s honestly really impressive
Honestly, if it’s bad, it has nothing to do with your drawing skills.
Picasso I like it
