Yi, the torso is GREAT! You should be proud. 1. The face, you should do some PATTERN GESTURES (off to the side or on another sheet) where you see the face as LIGHT and DARK patterns and you use the pencil VERY LIGHTLY at the beginning (slowly building up to DARKER PARTS), DON'T think words (eyes, lips, nose..) think- sharp shape into smooth soft area, EDGE that is shape becomes LINE, etc... You will get it right. 2. The legs: you need to PULL THE KNEES UP! So that the legs appear to COME FORWARD (This will make them look SHORTER on PAPER.)
