I'm gonna be blunt: -It looks like shit I have no idea where to start, so I'll just go from top to bottom. *The hair is way to messy, and disorganized. It's also too 'edgey' or 'sharp' *It also shows no variation in shading whatsoever, shadings should go from dark to light, and vice versa. Shadings are not meant to "fill in white", there meant to emphasis 3D effects onto a 2D object. Your shading is also all over the place, and have no consistency in where they should be(seen on the hands, and elbows) *The entire image looks off proportion, although I can't tell until I see your original reference, the hand on the left side, in contrast to the right hand side do not match up with the perspective given, the left hand sides elbows, going up towards the hand, slims too much. *There is no line weight, it's took me at least a minute or two to recognize where the neck, breast, elbows, arm, hair, etc separate. *The abdomen is too strongly defined(unless she actually has Ab's like that) *The legs have a weird perspective, the shading on the right hand side thigh, makes it appear at a strange angle, suggesting that they should at least show some of her feet, if not legs continuing from the other side.
Advice: *Try reading these shading techniques/tips. If this is too complex to understand, Google: Shading Techniques. There should be at least 4 mentioned. Smudge/Scumble, Hatching, Cross Hatching and Stippling.
Spoiler!
*I always refer to this video before tackling on drawing hair, just watch his hand movements, also take into account the thing he says. It really helps me. He mentions other art vocbaulary you may not familiar with, such as "negative space", just google it, its pretty simple
Spoiler!
Code: Select all
*Lineweight, although she refers to ink mainly in this video, it also applies to pencil.

Yeah, sorry about the harsh criticism. When I get back into the mood of drawing(which I have not done in a long time, been painting mainly) I'll let you nuke away at it :]
It's ok, that's what i need actually, i don't need everyone telling me how it's good, i need someone to tell me what's bad because sometimes i don't notice, i get too focused on a part and forget about everything else
