You've really only got two choices- either Trust and Obey or rust and decay

aww thanks for all the favs and the watch! I suppose I'll just answer all your questions here lol
well, for the cross stitch, I actually got the pattern off another fan, and she did that off a program... there's some special programs that will convert pictures into cross stitching patterns...

For drawing, I find that using a grid is a good start in portrait drawing to help get proportions right, and it kind of focuses on the lighter and darker tones when drawing particular features. It can be kind of mechanical, but from gridding, you can get a better feel for the face. It also helps to be familiar with the subject's face by studyiing a few other pictures of the person
eh... I'm not an arts student really, and it's just through practice that shading and drawing features comes it's just one of those things that you just have to keep drawing to keep honing and perfecting the skill plus always keeping an eye out for different techniques to incorporate to define your art Also finding a good high resolution reference picture is very important!!
hope that helped... I tend to write immense journals when I reply to questions... lol sorry!! keep drawing and try the gridding thing, it really helps me! oh, and welcome to deviantart!!!
