Do you have any tips on picking out the unique/recognizable details of a person’s face? I draw a lot of fan art, but my drawings never look like the character they’re supposed to be :(

Hmm, personally when I try to draw a face I usually try to study the shape and position of jawline and cheekbones, eyes and eyebrows, as well as the nose! (I realise the mouth is also pretty vital if they have a specific shape to it!)
Let’s take the strike commander skin for Jack Morrison for example?

Reference pictures are always your friend! Even better: references from different angles/perspectives. They can help you figure out angles and shapes you can’t see properly on just a single perspective picture!
I’m far from an expert but those are the things I look at specifically. Hope it helps in some way shape or form ❤︎
