All of the above. Can only select one, but all features would be fab 😃👍

Rick Morris

Without a doubt, for me, its the eyes.

Marg

Ears, for me, are the most challenging.

Yeonjae Braun

Yes all of the above but more specifically I'd have to go with nose. It's a facial feature that protrudes out of page with few defining characteristics and I find it difficult to express that just with lines and without shadows.

Mary L Doty

I find the nose the hardest. As mentioned above it rises above the other features and can often be the most noticeable of all the features. If you get the opening of the nostrils wrong you make more of a feature of it or you can imply the wrong angle of the face. Also the “smile lines” to the side of the nose seems to be an issue for me also. I feel that I often delineate them to much. Facial lines in general can change up a sketch. ( middle age adults soon can appear very old.) I also am eager for this video.

all atm

Would say all four but if I had to pick one it would be ears. I didn’t realise how difficult until I tried all four of the pictures. It’s easier in loose sketches but not so good when finer details are required ☺️

Ruben Garcia

I would love to see, a tutorial of different types of eyes 👀🙏🙏🙏
