>>2083001You did very well, until I took a closer look, I had no comment.
I feel like you have already looked at most of the materials in the OP, so I'll just point out one thing, that seems like an accident rather than you not knowing, but repetition is the mother of knowledge as the saying goes (or translation of it at least)
Don't try to make one part as one shape, it just gets messy. Create multiple shapes to fulfill certain tasks, like this lock of hair curving into another (and this is the part where it looks like you forgot to use smooth nodes), use parallel nodes to get a more consistent curve on both sides of a shape, if not parallel in direction, then relative distance, as with the thicker bit of hair here shown as teal node handles.
Other than that one part, looks like you got the grasp of it quite well everywhere else. For a better test now, I'd suggest trying something a bit harder, maybe with some shading, like this Chito one
>>2082562or if you don't feel like diving deep yet, there's bound to be something in between in the untaken requests gallery, a full body one is usually good practice
Try this one
https://imgur.com/XH7ygUxothers may disagree, but ignore the shading for now, and you really only have 5 colors to work with there - red, white, dark grey, beige (skin) and brown (hair and shoes)
