Practicing my Drawing skills

Edit2: Scan of final version:




Decided to draw for the first time in along time (can't remember the exact number, but it's around 7-8 years ... probably longer).

I also haven't finished it yet - still need to do the hair and some final touch-ups.

I had to take a photograph of the drawing with my mobile phone, as I can't find my scanner. -_-

And no, I didn't trace.

Any tips or suggestions? Fire away ...

And is her teeth done? It kind of looks funny.

Man, am I the only one here that can't draw?

I thought her teeth was done, but I keep looking back there and thinking it doesn't look quite right, LOL.

I need to get better equipment. I was using an HB pencil, 2H pencil and a couple of old erasers. That's all I have at the moment. =/

I've spotted a few things that needs changed:

- Her jaw-line needs to be curved more.
- Right (her left) eyebrow; the left side of it is too far up in comparison to the rest of the eyebrow.
- The shading under the left (her right) eye needs to be a tad darker.

There's probably more, but that's all I can see right now.

W0W!..That is awesome..I just kept staring at it thinking that is awesome!
The details are amazing as is the shading...the nose is perfection btw!The only suggestion I have is maybe a little more contrast above her mouth to make it look more dimensional...but only with shading.
You are truly an artist...cant wait to see the finished result!
-mad reps you-

xxx~
