Any critiques?

Last time I posted in these forums it was for my first portrait. This is my 4th now and I've been progressively studying better techniques and using the critiques that you all gave me last time to put this sketch together. It took me 15 hours using various shades of pencils (around 10 different ones) to complete this and I'm looking for some constructive criticism that could help me before I start on my next work. I posted it on deviantART, but I hardly ever get noticed there so I thought I'd ask for some advice in these forums. Here's the link to the DA version: http://themisthunter.deviantart.com/art/Lightning-Returns-FFXIII-464947366 Thanks in advance!

  • aaaahhhh well... you seem to have a fair idea of how faces work so there's not really much I can say. just keep drawing thousands of pictures, you'll eventually just naturally come into your own style, then draw a thousand more pictures so you can perfect that style. yea hope I'm helping here <(˚¬˚)>

    • That looks really good, spending that time clearly paid off especially if you compare it to [url=http://themisthunter.deviantart.com/art/Lightning-Final-Fantasy-XIII-443262027]this one[/url]. My main critiques with this one are to check proportions, especially the nose size; have a look at someone like [url=http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj50/innisart/Blog%20Images/Beauty/loomis-women001.jpg]Loomis[/url] if you haven't already done so. The second thing is that I think you could push the values even more in places; right now, the only dark dark is the bit on her shoulder.

    • She looks good, give her face some shading under her check bones to give her more life. Also, her eyes need to be inline with her face structure, they should at a bit of an angle - if you were ti draw the curved line where her eyes would set. Over all, very nice.

    • The lips seem to be a bit big.
