I know it's not perfect yet, like the horizon line being uneven, but this is still the single, biggest accomplishment in art I have ever had.

The actual image there only took a few hours, but I have been trying to do this picture for several years now, ever since I created the character. A few dozen failed attempts, and a few character redesigns, and there it is!

well just try sketching lightly with you pencil and erasing whats not right before u use a darker pencil or sumthin like that
letseeee critique wise.... dont do so much detail on the eyebrows its fine to just draw thier outlines
eyebrows are complicated bitches D:
the rest isnt bad u just need to practice proportions and dont forget humans have foreheads
despite her looking like a bobble head i think you did better than most artists at your level even some better the have this habbbit of drawing eyes how theyd look like from the front despite thier angle you however didnt make that mistake so i aplaud you

I do that, the problem I was talking about is in the random blending in the BG. It still can be fixed, but it won't be easy to blend it back in.
And I haven't forgotten that humans have foreheads, it's mostly her hair.


Although, to be honest, I don't see the bobble head thing. According to the anatomy book I have, her head is in perfect proportion, although it may be another case of "Hair throws off proportion"

Wow, I love this! I'm really bad at side views because whenever I draw them they look really sad... Anyway... I love how clean it is, and how smooth it seems. Is that some sort of wheat feild in the background?

Gorgeous! Very clean lines and a great side view (which are hard for most).

It's actually a very poorly draw beach. I need to touch it up now that I have more than a mechanical pencil at my disposal.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I drew the entire background, with my finger! Not a pencil, but my finger! (Although I clearly had to make a few pencil touch ups, but I placed it all with finger-drawing.)
