The resemblance is wishful at best. Anyway, speaking of faces..

The most important thing about art (unless your livelihood depends upon it or will depend upon it), is to feel better after you do it even if you draw like a retarded child (see: my art). I'm not saying artists shouldn't try to improve, I just don't see why they should be concerned about being "taken seriously" unless that is their chosen profession.

Most people start with faces because they are easiest. I'm not saying anatomy isn't important because it is the foundation of pretty much everything (unless you don't draw people, and that includes anime), but only child proteges and idiot savants crawl into this world without having to churn out hundreds of shitty life studies before they can achieve something halfway decent.
