i like the over all look of this drawing.
but for some crit/feedback. i think the bird could use a little more work as i am not sure if you intended it to be flat looking for some reason as if it were a part of her clothing or more volumetric and life like. i think the head starts to give me the impression of this is volumetric but the rest of the body is like a paper cut out. in either case i think it should have a little more contrast to give it a little more pop.
i think the line work and movement in the hair is the best part. nice job.

I'm glad you liked it. As for the bird, I did that intentionally, as I just liked the look of it together with the much more intricate background. Gives it a nice contrast, I think.

Her eyes glow, but the mouth is firm. I cannot see the euphoria, nevertheless I like this picture.

Things aren't always as they seem

Things may never be; but then again what things seem is really what things ever are to us.

First of all I love your hatching way with ink, but same time I wonder what you do when you make a mistake at shadowing since rubber eraser will be useless on ink (maybe you use correction fluid or you never make a mistake?)
I did not have any idea about how Euphoria looks like before I saw your drawing. She looks a bit Medusa from Greek Mythology due to her hair with snakes.
Anyway, you have unique and impressive style.

Well, if you do a mistake, you have to try and cover it up with something else. Sometimes you can save yourself with using some very soft sand paper on the spot, but this can make fibers stand up and make the surface absorb ink differently as well, so you should be careful with that. I think that works best with dry ball point ink. Glad you like my work.

Wow, Livia. You are so quick! Hehe. I am glad you enjoyed it! And yes, there are several sides of it. I like symbolism. Since I am not so good with words (though I want to be), I try to tell things by symbols instead
