Hi Jenni,

Tim is right. With a number of small shifts your drawing and likeness can get back on track. Do you have the photo to scale right next to your easel?

In case you don't, I've done an overlay in Photoshop to show where things need to shift. The eyes appear to bug out because the eyelids are too thin. The chin, mouth and muzzle area, as Tim calls it, need widening and moving forward. The nose is ever so slightly off axis in its angle, and the bridge shoud appear finer and thinner.

Hope this helps,

Garth
