I love Piper personally (she's my fave) and I love how you've drawn her. Can I ask if you have any tip on how to... art. So stuff like drawing hair and where to shade on the face?

That's a pretty general question!
Okay, this portrait of Piper is maybe not the best example for drawing hair, but try to find a good balance between drawing every single hair and drawing her hair a simply the haircut. That means: Try to imagine what the haircut is like. Is the hair a little curly or wild? Will there be wind or a motion in the picture which will make the hair fall differently? You should consider all of these points. Additionally, it is usually better to have some "single strands" of hair to make it more realistic.
Shading is one of the most difficult parts in drawing. You should definitely start with copying some photos. What you will learn ba doing so is that there is shadow where you expect it to be - but also shadow which seems to be there accidentally. It's hard to say where shadows are for 100%. It depends on the source of light, reflexion and the position of the object that you are drawing. You should definitely try to manipulate shadows while looking in a mirror and observing the changes. But to give it a try ... I'd say there is usually shadow close to the eyes, next to the nose and below the cheeks, but as I said, this is very general and doesn't always work.
Phew! I hope that I could help you!!
