Considering that you DIDN'T mirror this (... i think), though, level of (implied) symmetry is pretty damn impressive! Also i love the shading, mmm.
Also, regarding delicate shading, i'm not entirely sure what you mean...? 6B isn't exactly what i'd call delicate, but it is lighter than 9B, for sure. Do you happen to have an example? I don't want to bore you with entry-level tips (read: most of what i know) that you're already familiar with, but i also don't want to pretend to know something that i don't. :v
Thanks, and yeah i understand what you mean, i forgot to make the skin slightly more elevated than the skull. the nose is a bit too high so i might move it down a little later and make the canvas longer. ill get to work on these fixes tomorrow.
also dont worry about entry level tips, so far im new to digital art so entry level tips on more realistic shading and some lineart (still having to get used to this style) would be very helpful.
so far my attempts either look too smudged or just dont look nice at all.
about the pencil shading thing i mean something similar to this
having opacity on the pressure sensitivity seems to not work as much like a pencil as id hoped.
