[Complete] Female Portrait (in need of feedback and tips on hair)

Fraktayne

Hello, I have this piece I'm doing for practice and I would like to ask for info about making hair and if what I'm doing is close to the reference I am using.

I am trying to make stylized version but not too stylized because I still do not understand the pores and wrinkles.
I am trying to also stylize hair but close to the reference.
I have put place holders for areas with hair and I try to sculpt hair following some videos of using curve tube to make many strands but it did not look as nice especially in the eyebrows.
Most tutorial I find has long wavy hair so they sculpt on like one big strand but I do not know how to apply it to Head hair.

Here is my reference from pinterest:


Here is the sculpt:
From the angle, I think her head in reference is tilted and her neck is streched more but I did not tilt it yet because I did not want to break symmetry, also I cannot get the eyes to look like the reference eyes. I am not confident in its anatomy, proportion and likeness. 


here is close up of eyebrows and eyelash:
The eyebrows looks fine to me but I want to know from your perspective if it is decent or not.
Also how do I sculpt the eyelash?


here is front and side profiles:



Any feedback is appreciated, thank you.

Very nice reference picture!

Doimg a bit of work on the anatomy will boost everything. Try using Daz 3D as a reference while you work (its free).

Daz 3D is pretty cool just that the cursor keeps disappearing, also their models look familiar in some way.

Update:
shortened the nose a little bit
pushed the jaw down a little bit
lowered the shoulder bone
made eye socket smaller
narrowed the chin a bit


Front and side profile:

The models are generic so they dont have any specific characteristics Thats not what you need it for. The trick is to get a solid anatomic base and they are ideal for that.

ahh that is useful, thank you

Update:
I did the hair, and tried to match the reference a bit more.


what do you think? how does it look and how do I improve it?

Finally finished with this, I tried my best with the likeness and the hair and I hope it looks good.
