Yes, it's true. I can't seem to get one of the characters faces correctly drawn. The nose is killing me. I even almost went to tears when I was drawing his face. I just wish more people would recognize my drawings and artwork. I've even dreamt that my art would be in the subway of Boston, for all to see.

I used to love to draw. I have been in similar situations where there is an aspect of a drawing that I don't feel is correct and I am obsessed....and cried. :oops:

The only advice I can give you is that the more you look at the "problem area" the less perspective you will have on the entire drawing and at least for me, this just makes matters worse. I would probably try to do something else, as hard as that is.....but take a walk...a nap...anything.

I hope things work out for you and I hope that you one day will see your artwork in the subways in Boston. :D

I know for a fact that people are not easy to draw. Just keep improving; what else can you do?

Ten years of experience or ten thousand hours of deliberate practice might sort that out.
