This is not intermediate, the coloring of the face is a bit choppy/blotchy, so is the hair. If you experiment with opacity and flow, your drawings will look softer. It is also possible to get thinner lines for the hair and eyelashes. Use the bottom one of the 4 brush types, set to one pixel and move the slide under opacity and flow right to the vertical line. I've found that to be the finest line you can possibly get.

Though I will say you improved (very much improved) I would not say your ready for intermediate. Just look at the pictures on Inter to see what's expected.

I didn't find the opacity and flow thing very helpful but I did find something at the bottom that made the line thinner. Thanks anyways for the comment and for giving me a clue on how to make the line thinner (I've tried to do it FOREVER!) I was planning to maybe make her bald but changed my mind after my sister said NO! ;D

I redone her hair, it's not very good I know. The ear on our right, her left, is way too big but I'll fix it later, I'm meant to be doing homework. I think it's a little better than before, at least it doesn't look like big chunks. I plan to keep her unfinished until someone says it's good enough to be on intermediate, I am determined, even if it takes a year XD
I also need a background but I couldn't come up with an idea...does anyone have any?
Also if you have advice, greatly appreciated esp on this thing I'm trying to perfect, please tell me what you don't like as well as what you DO like so I don't go changing the good bits.

you defintily have improved...but this is not up to intermediate standards.
i think that you have to get more confterable (wow cant spell..) in the different applets before you move on. And a background will be hard, especially ( and dude, i had the fuckin longest time getting this in real life painting) becuase shes right in the center of the canvas. You have to think about overall composition, though its tough becuase its a square canvas. You should check out art theorems like golden meme (mean? mene?) or the rule of threes.

I dunno if I made her worse but I wanted to do something, so she's got hair extentions now.

I've added a bg and done some alterations. This might not be intermediate yet but I plan on practicing more on beginner.

Take a look at this...might help with hair http://2draw.net/view/32425/

Thanks, I'll try to use that. Did one and it helped a lot with the white lines.

I've smoothed her a lot. I think it's better than before. Her hair looks a bit greasy, but it looks a lot smoother than before. I also did a bit with her nose and lips and made her smile a bit more. Oh, and her eyebrows. I don't really know how much better it is, but hopefully at least a bit!
If you have any advice on how to make this more intermidiate-ish, it would help.

If this isn't intermediate yet, how can I make it be?
