That is fantastic! And the shading is so nice. My greatest problem with a view of the head like this (3/4) is how to draw the neck. I never know if it is positioned way too front or way too back. I think yours is very nice though. <:)

Very pretty; I say keep experimenting with that style. It makes for a very professional looking result. <3

you want command and conquer?

I think it looks like it's coming along well, but since that's all most people are saying I'll also add that the coloring on the ears looks a little too smooth to me. They're suppose to be furry but they look like they have the same texture as the skin on the face. I'd use a very thin pencil and very low opacity to put some faint, barely there lines on them for that. Similar to the texture of the finer lines of fur coming out of the ears.

hair is looking good, but now the smoothness of the ears looks even more out of place because it's right next to textured fur/hair to compare with. Also the top line along her (you better not tell me it's a guy because I see boobs) right ear looks a little broken, like it needs some darkening in the middle of the line there.

I'm not sure what to think of her left eye overlapping her hair. I know it's commonly done in this style but it never looks right to me. The eyebrow is fine and it's fine to see a little of the eye through the hair but having the white of the eye actually on top of the hair looks odd.

Individual strands for the hair overall doesn't exactly fit here I think, it's the part that is most incongruent to the rest. Or maybe you just need to work on it more until it looks like it has real depth?

Another suggestion, for smooth shading at least you might want to think about merging the jaw-line and neck without using a black line (just dark shadows), using less outlines will improve the realism. That is if this new style is some smooth shading and more "real"?

I think it's coming along really well.
