			             As a general tip - draw what you see, not what you know ... trust your eyes not your head - sometimes it helps if you turn the reference/drawing upside down so that you can see it objectively. (I'm assuming that you're drawing from a reference)
  sorry, I know this reply is a few days late...
  Anyhow, if you need specific advice, try posting the picture in the mentee forum and see if anyone will give you some pointers : )
