This is probably my favorite in your gallery because you captured the proportions of her face so well. You need to push HARDER though, with your pencil, and REALLY get some dark shadows in there. Don't be afraid of sharp, black edges if that's what your style asks of you. Go with the flow and keep practicing.

Good work on her facial expresion and the wings. It's good to see wings on a faery that aren't just plain butterfly or dragonfly wings. Nice work--keep it up.

She´s very pretty... She looks like she just saw something weird and is wondering what it was. ^^; Wonderful expression... I myself just can´t draw humanoids at all. =P Try using a bit darker shading sometimes, it brings depht in the drawings nicely. ^_^ Very unique wings here too, by the way.

:-) Saskia H. Suurling replies: "Thank you. I find it very hard drawing human faces, I try the use dar shading on yhe next one. thanks for the tip "

The lips are very good, the eyes are technically okay, but you need to look at your own; at the shape, especially near the tearducts and at the folds of the lids.
it's impossible to create 'bad' eyebrows, but they're something to pay attention to when drawing a face. if you make expressions in the mirror, you'll see that it's really the way in which you position your eyebrows that give your eyes character and expression.
the nose is alright, but it looks a bit too much like a triangle. sometimes it's hard not to make a goodlooking nose without it taking up the focus of the grawing. the answer to this problem is in making simple shapes that suggest that everything is there. if you'd like to see some good, simple nose examples, i suggest checking out 'Natalia *nati* Pierandrei' and 'Rachel D. Spool'.
2 great picture, keep going!

The part of her lips is good, I always find that hard to draw without the lips looking like a pair of sausages.

She has some very pretty eyes and a nice, realistic bone structure. You have no idea how much I struggle with that myself, so when I see someone else pulling it off nicely I can understand what kind of effort it can take! Her wings are interesting, too!

:-) Saskia H. Suurling replies: "I’m struggling with that too and I’m so happy when it turns out acceptable. Thank you for your comment. See you again in the woods."

the expression has come out really well, and expressions are hard! believe me i know 10!!!!! she doesnt look afraid though jusy puzzled 2. if you want her to look afraid maybe move the eyebrows a bit higher and angle it up in the centre. hope that helps 1. keep at it

:-) Saskia H. Suurling replies: "Jeah expression are difficult. This is an rather old drawing but I still keep it up."

This was a total "You know you’ve been on Elfwood a long time when..." moment for me. I was going to comment on this, then I realized I already did so a year ago. 6 Figures.
