So many artists on the web seem to be lefties.

Anyway, without meaning to sound too critical, the very first thing I noticed was that the artist drew a really long, thin face to represent the subject who actually has the opposite kind of face - more blocky and squarish with rounded corners. Oh, well - you can learn something from everything.

Head shape is all wrong. I thought he was going to make his face wider?
