Tips/help on drawing a front-facing reflection based only off the side profile?

I think this falls under perspective help, but does the reflection of his face in his knife look correct? If not, how can I correct it? I don't mind if anyone draws over the piece or edits anything to help show a correction!

I've always struggled a lot with reflections, hence why there's no reflection in the knife in the older piece, but I'd like to try in this year's redraw! Always looking to learn and improve. ^_^

Art study fail... 😭

I was doing an exercise on Line of Action earlier, where my friend and I had sixty seconds to draw a picture of the model on screen, and this one ended up looking so terrifying! ToT I was dying laughing at it for like five minutes and could barely focus on the other models. But I wanted to share because I thought it was funny and actually ended up really liking her! ^_^ Thinking about turning her into an OC! LOL

I don't typically share WIPs or share stuff on Reddit for that matter, but I just found this sub and love the attitude of everyone here! 🤍🤍 Love to see real artists supporting real artists.

This character's name is Lean (Lee-uhn), and they use they/them pronouns! They're my self-insert ATLA OC! I'm still writing their lore, but I wanted to make their reference sheet before I finished their lore so I can get a better feel for their personality. :)

I don't really know if it will show up when posted because of Reddit's media compression, but when I zoom in on my canvas sometimes, it begins to form large, soft dots that are just the slightest bit darker than the color of my canvas (no matter what color), then if I keep zooming in, the dots get smaller, harder, and more frequent.

Does anyone know what's happening? It's not a HUGE problem if it can't be fixed or if no one knows what it is, because it only shows up sometimes and typically goes away after a while or if I close and reopen the file, but is there a cause anyone knows of?

(Idk if this is relevant, but the canvas size is 3000 x 4000 (72 dpi), and my application version is CSP PRO (64 bit) 3.0.4.)
