Gaze

I'm not quite sure if this is intermediate worthy
Shading + posture practice

It Paolo

One eyebrow is higher than the other and it looks like he is simultaneously skeptical and looking over something

I'd love critique and tips! I want to improve

    i love your art so much!! but i do have a few critiques;

    1. same face syndrome; your faces always look the same, and it's quite hard to tell the differences between characters and such. what i suggest is trying to break that 'same face' barrier, and try different shapes for noses, eyes, and mouthes! i struggled with same face syndrome for quite a while, until i started using these tips.

    2. the eyes; the eyes look somewhat emotionless, i'd suggest adding more emotion to the face to add to the eyes. also, the eyebrows play a key part in this as well.

    3. the lips; the lips are a little too small for the face, try just making them a bit bigger?

    4. never be afraid to try something new / experimental; try different styles! and never be afraid to!

    that's all i have. i did not mean to come off as rude, i just wanted to help you a bit :)
    have a nice day!
bye cs! it's been fun!

No, all of those make sense!
But with the same face thing, I've been drawing the same character a lot recently so I haven't practiced with the other faces.
I've been trying to draw different face shapes but haven't quite broke the same face barrier yet i guess because they still look similar to people
Yeah, they do look kind of emotionless, I didn't really have an emotion in mind. It was supposed to look neutral, or wistful? Idk
I caught the lips being too small but I struggled making them a size that looked good. Do you mean the whole mouth or just the lips?

Thank you for the compliment and the critique though! It's helpful.

    ah you're very welcome! i just thought i'd drop some tips because i once had the same problems.
    also, maybe try a cartoon 'caricature' style? it comes in handy with over exaggerating shapes and stuff.
    and yeah i meant the whole mouth, not to be rude or anything but it just looks un-naturally small.
bye cs! it's been fun!

Yeah
I thought it was too small but didn't want it to be too big

I wasn't trying to draw anything realistic though, just add shading and highlight to my style with a little more effort
I consider my style to be kinda cartoony
