In all honesty, this is entirely an experiment and something to put up, just for the sake of putting it up... you know, one of those, yeah, I'm still here kind of things. Anyways, I'd like to hear your input, comments/critique are more useful than faves

your doing a decent job immitating perspective. Remember everytime you do a drawing you are depicting something that is 3-d. Since you cant physically put it there for people to tangibly touch you have to ask yourself whats the next best thing. "IF" this girl turned her head do you think you could see the other side of her face?, what i am saying is can you envision the rest of her head without it actually being there. I think you do a decent job of that in your other pieces where the color is a little more fleshed out, but something to remember is that everything falls away from you in a 3-d world starting with the things that are closest to you say her chin and so on....i wish i could post images here to better demonstrate what i am talking about. Imagine you are sculpting when you draw and you are using darks to push your subject matter away and lights to bring it forward.
I do enjoy how you have gradiated your line work to immitate a light source. A little more variation in your line work might help the form as well. hahah Now that i read some of the comments more thouroughly it seems as though you consciously sacrificed 3 dimensionality for stylistic gains in which case all i have said has little bearing on this image. so lets try again.
I like the decision to make your linework mimic a lightsource, but if it is then your missing drop shadows onthe left side of the face. you have hair which should be in shadow just as light as the hair that is closest to the light. Try to think of your values working on the same scale from 100% being black and 0% being white. make sure your 0-10% values are closest to your lights and the light be less strong (grammar?) as gains distance from your lightsource. Also t the highlights should fall on the form where it is closest to the "viewer" (like you have done on the cheek) since thats where the reflection of the light would be on the form.
ok i think i have exhausted myself on my soapbox hopefully it was helpful. and of course you image looks pretty, but there are always so many ways for us to improve as i am sure you know, so dont get me wrong it looks good. I was talking to your brother the other day and he said you are still considering ringling. COME HERE YOU WILL LOVE IT!! now that i have said my piece i hope to hear from you soon and see more of your beautiful artwork keep it up.
