BTW, I forgot to mention the main good part of this drawing - The upper part of the hair where the highlight is looks really neat and is well rendered for a beginner 2

Ok, interesting picture. Probably not a good idea to ignore the clothing; believe it or not it's a very important element in a pic.

Alright, as for the rest of the picture, the proportions are off. Please mail me if you want some further help on that, I'll se whatI can do. Mostly, though, in this picture tgo look in the mirror. Look at yourself very hard. See where your hands drop down in relations to your leg. Then, apply it 2. Oh, and for black - Usually it's better not to use the black pencil crayon. it creates a very dead black space. Instead, try mixing red, blue, and yellow together, or other dark colours. IT makes a much richer black and makes highlighting easier. If you are gonna use pencil crayon black, trying laying some other colours into it as balck is never really black.

:-) Claire M.E. Gibson replies: "Thankyou for pointing this out. It's very helpful!"
