Woo!! I used colored pencils! Okay, anyway, this is of Aislinn, a lady elf in a story I'm writing. Just look at the picture, K? I don't really believe people read these anyway :) Yes, you may notice a certain resemblance to a certain picture... okay, so I was feeling self-indulgent **shrugs**

This is very good. The lines, the angle of the picture-- great. The eyes are especially well done. I do have some Constructive Criticism, though. For one, your pencil strokes are a little sloppy, especially in the hair. Two, I can sort of tell you used a bad brand of pencil. Try Prismacolors, by Sanford, you get a much richer, stronger line. Even with good pencils, though, you still need to press harder and avoid scribbling. Rather, move the pencil in small, slow circle to color in, for example, the background, which I see is scribbled in this pic. Also, add some shading to the face.
And remember, none of this is meant to offend! This is a lovely picture, and I only want to help you improve (: I'm no great shakes at art myself, actually, so feel free to return the criticism.

The forehead is so weird looking. It makes her look like an alien or something. Keep trying, loser....

If you're trying for a realistic look, it does need some major improvements. But all in all, it's a working progress and practice makes perfect. You probably shouldn't resort to color until it looks more defined. Don't be afraid to get more bold with the shading. To be honest, this is really nothing special. It doesn't convey anything. It doesn't move or inspire. As far as I'm concerned, it's just another face. But like I said practice makes perfect. You need alot of it. If you want my e-mail, I'll give it to you, but I won't post it for everyone to see.
