Hello all!
This is the picture that I'm drawing -

so, here is something wrong in my picture, may be in shading?I don't know...
as well i can't do the hair to look good, i don't know how to draw it

you're shading looks pretty good, i think you might have drawn her nose or face too long. it's a pretty picture.

hey don't worry, there's nothing really wrong with the picture, it's juste that you havent made her face slated enough. if you look at the ref pic, you can see that her face is really slanted. to be able to draw that right, you should take marks: for example, look at where her chin is: it's not right under the eye like you drew it. and the mouth: it goes up higher compared to the nose than you did it. your drawing is still pretty though, it doesn't look distorted or wrong, it's just not like the ref pic. oh, and you should try (just an advice) to go darker. look at the lashes for example: they are really black in the ref pic. anyway, i hope we'll get to see that drawing finished!

Now, I drew it again, this time it's better (I will scan it tomorrow).But I still have no idea how to make the hair.... how to draw it realistic..with light reflection and all hair things

[firefly]

here is:

is it better?

[une artiste]

it looks better! the bottom of her nose is a kind of weird shape, but other than that it's improved. i can't wait to see it finished!

[firefly]

The chin is weird too, but I will fix it.
I will ruin it when I start drawing the hair, I know....

[firefly]

Now, for the hair...How to draw it? In what direction?From the bottom of the hair to out or ..how? Any advices?

p.s.
English is not my best spoken language
