I don't like how this has started to look at all, can someone help with tips about this type of drawing? I think i'm going to redo it completely, but help first would be nice. Sorry, I just want to improve!

Lol well, first off, you made her look like she found a big spider in the drawer with her Vicky's Secret stuff! You might soften her expression some? lol

Well, It was only an attempt. I failed, Yeah, But I think I will probably keep trying. Tips to become better are definatly appreciated. Hm...

I think it's a great try! The only thing that bugs me is that the neck looks a bit too thick, but I'm always used to smaller necks..so maybe it's just me. But just keep trying to draw like this on your comp. and you'll get better!

Well it was only an attempt to try to learn things. You see, Its basically the ears. Those don't seem to fit right. The right ear (our left) Shouldn't be seen as much as it is, since she has a 3/4 view. That's what I think. Thank you for the feed-back!

first decide what angle and which direction your light source is comming from, that'll give you a better idea where to place the shadows..like for her nose, the shadow of the nose will either be left, right or under in most cases, you have darkness on both sided of it which makes it look like you simply outlined it. (When we see, we dont really see lines, we see planes and color and value changing as the surafece of the subject changes).This also applies to the head as a whole. From there you can create the illusion of depth and form.
