I get really vivid depictions of things in my mind, but when it comes to actually drawing them, they never come out quite right.I'm not bad, if I have something to copy from - I've attached a picture of a gnoll ranger/psion from my Acrozatarim campaign. I drew this from a diterlizzi picture that I thought depicted gnolls in the way I wanted - wild and noble, not slavering rabid jackals - with a fair number of alterations. The original is a profile of just the head of a gnoll from an adventure in a Dungeon magazine that pitted the players against a druid circle of gnolls, hobgoblins, half-orcs and kobolds.But even so, attempting to draw is a slow, often frustrating process. This picture was actually mostly drawn while I was drunk, which probably helped <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />What I'd really like to be able to do is draw better - especially people, and especially their faces!So I ask you, benevolent folk, do you know of, for instance, any good sites which give tutorials on such things? Do you have any good hints or tips? I may never be a diterlizzi but I'd really like to brush up my skills a bit.Oh, the gnoll is called Storm Eagle, btw <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
