Hmmm...I'm no expert XD but I have some stuff in mind and maybe (I feel so awkward using the word since I'm definitely the inferior artist here XD) tips?
It's all down to what you as the artist would like XD But I WILL say that the more feminine look of the eyes, and having both eyes showing, and the expression, are three things combined to make your WIP SO incredibly striking. That's what got my viewer's attention. My instinct >.> is to say that working too hard on showing ambiguity of gender might actually take away from the "punch" that, in its current form, Sheik's face and expression give?
What's more important is what you want to show with the picture, though. I'll be sure to swing by again and maybe give a more thorough look and critique! Just at another glance, though, looking at the hand, I wonder if part of what's making the fingers look almost like they're bending backwards is the lack of "base knuckles" (is there a technical term? lol XD) and the tendons that connect them to the fingers. When I stretch my fingers out I see tendons there, in the center of each finger at the base. Masculine or feminine, too, it might help the fingers look more adult-like if they tapered more at the tips... But yeah e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w… " width="15" height="17" alt="

I likes da hair >.><3 though I never say no to more shading to make it really pop e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w… " width="15" height="15" alt="

Uh, I guess I just gave a more in-depth critique here @.@ does this help in anyway or am I imposing my own artistic vision on yours? Anyway, either way, take it or leave it, I wish you all sorts of luck with continuing it!

I agree with 'wishiwould'. The main thing that sticks out to me for improvements, pretty much have to do with the hand. The fingers to seem to 'bend backward', so work on the perspective. However, the more glaring issue I see is the fingers are just to long and not tapered to add to the femininity of of the whole piece. All in al tho GREAT WORK.

Maybe some more shading around the edges of the face area caused by the hair and scarf? It might help draw more attention to her lovely eyes and the shading around her facial features.
Also maybe work on making the glow around the triforce more organic looking. And the rest of triforce should probably follow the shading of the rest of the blue underneath it.
It looking very nice so far though! I really love the eyes and scarf.

I don't know anything about this kind of art, but i think it's very beautiful, especially the eyes. The headdress and hand are the only things my unschooled eyes can see that needs some more work^^
Very nice work you're doing!!!

I think she is beautiful ! the only thing I really picked out, is her headdress. I believe even though in the shadow,it needs some texture to it. may make it more believable.the web between the thumb and fore finger,needs some contour shading. not to look so flat. before the upper most web.hope that helps!!
