I would agree with most of Fuzzybunikins criticism, though I think the values should depend on the moos you want to achieve and I like the way the shadows were done in general.

I don't know the photo ref, but the shape of her near seems a bit weird, and I'm not sure that's the "missing socket". It may be just me, though. I sort off miss the teeth (awfully hard to draw as they are) and some detail on the lips, though that's also a matter of detailed you want to make something.

All, in all, I do think it's a nice drawing! And I'm really quite fond of her nose and far eye.

Thank you for the honest comment. I put my work out there to learn from others. Im taking your comments and really looking at them to make my future work that much better.

Things to look at: She is missing some volume to the back of her head, there is missing structure around the eyes (indication of the bridge of the nose or socket it sits in) as well as indication of the forms under her lower lip, her near eye seems slightly out of alignment with the far eye (almost like 2 different people if you just cover one at a time) while much of this image may be close to the reference you used, the lens of a camera distorts so try to make sure you measure everything out on your own even if you use photo ref.

As just a general thing you need to push some more values in there to get a bigger range with your darks whether it is with the sanguine or charcoal.

Thanks for the pointers. I definitely will look into these and hopefully fix them. I have never really worked with the sanguine or tinted paper so it is a bit new to me but honest tips like this help immensely. I kind of got lazy on the hair and never really finished it.
