you should use helping lines for anything else but profile shots, really! it may look silly to you, but it helps a lot. it would be a pity if you wasted your time like this...

besides, doing profile only because you have difficulties with other poses only limits your own abilities. I have seen someone's art with a likewise 'disposition', and she had to break her figure's neck for the sake of using another pose.

*scritch* mew?

Yeah I know, I would have put a bit more effort into it, but in this case, it was a quick attempt while i was still in the midst of rping at the time so i didnt spend too long on it, and i was tired, so i jsut kinda tried and failed and called it a night lol

I really need to practice more on frontal views, they actually used to be the only view i could do of faces, i used to be awful at profile views, and then i started practicing them more and now i'm pretty good at profile, but i've lost my ability with frontal since i didnt keep practicing at it while i practiced profile, so now i need to practice frontal but still keep up my skill on profile as well

practising one thing at a atime doesn't seem to work out for most, I've observed. practise one thing, but do the others as well. and try out as much as possible out of your "never tried before" cathegory.

Yeah, you'll never get good at something you're bad at by constantly avoiding trying it, so its best to give ti a shot fairly often and you can improve at it then

that's the spirit! ^^
