I'm not very good yet, but the last year I've started drawing realistically - or at least tried. Here are some of my attempts, let me know what you think. I you have any tips on how I can improve them, that'd be really helpful, too. ^^ Voltaire Ichabod Crane Severus Snape Gregory House Kim from LadyParasyte Gregory House and Allison Cameron Gregory House and Lisa Cuddy Adam Lambert

Aww, thank you! <3 I have tried to draw her several times already, but somehow I always fail. I was thinking of trying again though, I might give it a try tonight. ^^

Voltaire is the best one of the group here. You need to work on your proportions and shading and such. An issue you seem to have mostly is overly large foreheads. You're overextending the head far beyond what could be considered even an abnormality. There's several references and guides one can find online to help you along in these problems.
Another thing I'm going to point out is that instead of conveying emotion, your eyes look very dead. Along with hands, eyes are one of the most expressive features of a human. Work on that more. You do have potential, you need to work up to it.

Thank you! About the foreheads I knew, but about the eyes I didn't realize. Do you have any tips how I can make them look more emotional?

Conveying emotion through the eye is a very tricky thing. Alls I would say to do is to get pictures of emotional faces [such as an angry face, or a sad face, or a happy face] and note how big the pupils are, how the eyelids are shaped and such things. Also, just as a general tip. When drawing from a picture just draw what you see before trying to "fix" something. Because when you start going nitpicky over how things appear, it may be out of line with the rest of the picture and give it an awkward appearance overall.

Ah, thank you! I'll try that. I've also looked around for tutorials on youtube on drawing eyes and practised a bit, and they look a bit better already.

They do seem just a tiny bit out of proportioned or something to me (I can't talk, I'm not THAT great at drawing), but they're amazing. Keep practicing!

I couldn't think of the word so I said out of proportion, but I think I wanted to say stiff. There's something about them that doesn't look natural or fluid. But I stand by my statement that they're amazing. Also probably way better than I could ever do.

I love the drawings of Voltaire and Adam Lambert. I don't know much about drawing, so I don't really have any tips for you, but I will say you are so talented! =) Keep at it.

I just love the fact that you drew Voltaire, who in my opinion, is the sexiest man ever...
to elaborate on the eyes conversation, also consider eyebrows, they can potentially add alot of emotion to the face, and their movement also effects lines on the forehead...
