hi.  
i was just starting to learn how to draw people… and my foundation isnt really good, so pardon me.

please guide me along =)

i drawn and airbrushed the following pictures but no matter how i draw and colour… it just doesnt look realistic.  
i guess my knowledge of shadows isnt very good… any advices for a novice like me? thanks :sigh:
