looks pretty good. A few things, that I see, I don't like the white under the nose. Get some good reference and study it. Your eyes look anatomically correct but the shading around it looks "edgy". Hope it helps
Very nicely done. The eyes look great, a little better blending of color maybe. You even remembered the gland under the chin. Most people don't even realize its there. You must handle them alot or looked at lots of pictures. I have to agree on the nose thing... Thats the only thing I can really fault. Even the ears look pretty good for a beginner. The tear duct is nicely tucked. Over all nice job. Keep up the good work.
the eyes,it was the first time i pull out my new paasche h airbrush
i wasn't sure about how to blend and i didn't want to over do the
paint job. ANY TIPS ON BLENDING?
the nose i was trying to blend from black to a light flesh/pink
but it didn't work out that waythis is the first time i used an
airbrush in time i hope i will become better with it.
thanks again

Just work with your airbrush techniques. Get a copy of the Breakthrough that Bill Yox describes his nose paint schedule. It seemed that you were a little heavy handed with the white. I saw a good bit of overspray that needs to be cleaned off with lacquer thinner. Learn to set your spray pattern down to where it's about the size of a crayon or less and let the spray "build up" to achieve your final color coatings.
You're well on you way now.
your deer is about a hundred times better than my first - make that a thousand - better make that a million
That's the truth. Looks good. I cant hardly add to what has already been suggested. But I wonder if maybe the pictures are deceiving. I mean like the white paint mentioned. I know that sometimes when I take pictures of my mounts, paints sometimes look exaggerated and over done, face on shots look moose like etc... So judging by the pics and factoring the likely morphing that pics do, I think its real nice.
