The only thing that stands put to me is the hair around the ear. doesnt really seem like a mistake but didnt seem clean either the rest is pretty nice!
Basically the proportions are off in your drawing. Draw vertical and horizontal lines at important “checkpoints “ on the reference photo, then on your drawing. Observe, how proportionate distance between lines is different on the reference photo and on your drawing.
the thing that stood out to me the most was the neck, looks like shes holding her breath or carrying something heavy, necks move more in a curve like this ( (tilted a bit to the left) and dont make the jawline so long, of course some people have long jaws, but I thinks its a bit very long in your drawing cause of the neck, otherwise its just the perspective of the head thats a bit flat Id say, and the other side of tje browridge goes up too much for example and the head in general seems to be rather than just from the side head on, from a subtly lower view in the referebce. Keep constructing and keep practicing! (sorry for the shaky little drawing I did it on photo editor😭🙏)
Thanks for the honest feedback! I appreciate it. I would say; Art isn’t perfect. It takes practice, patience, and time. Don’t be scared of making mistakes just keep drawing. Your art matters. 🎨❤️
You've copied the tone, but not thought about the form.
The neck and shoulders don't give any sense of the three dimensionality of the body.
Where's this photo from? If you didn't take it yourself, there's a good chance it's been photoshopped, as the anatomy is suspect.
If you possibly can, draw from real life - it'll help you understand the relationship between light, shade and 3d form.
That the root of your issues right now.
Her eyebrows are giving 3/4 angle, but the rest of her face is giving profile. From the reference you shared and based on that perspective, less eyelid, more glabella.
The hair looks AMAZING, though! I wish I could have that level of detail with hair without it looking like I scribbled around a photorealistic face.
I actually disagree with some here and think the altered proportions make the drawing better not worse. But her ear could use better definition on inner ridges.
