Description
So I started this drawing on Friday in class and finished it last night...I kinda wish this wasn't on lined paper, but what can you do?
So I know this isn't the best, but I'm fairly pleased, especially since I'm working on drawing people realistically.
I would seriously LOVE if someone could give me some constructive criticism and tips for improvement. So don't be afraid! Tell me what you think, even if you think if might hurt my pride. I WANT to know what could be improved!

If your looking for some constructive criticisim, I'm always more than happy to help a frined in need! 
First of all, I'd like start with the positives, because overall, this is quite the brilliant attempt at realisim. ;] As soon as I saw it, I instantly knew it was Jennette McCurdy. That's always FANTASTIC start when you can identify the person without even needing to read any descriptions! So well done with that babe
The way you drew her hair is also very wonderful too. You did a great job of capturing her curls, and the flowyness, as it falls/leans against her shoulders. Very realistic.
Also I like the eyes too. The highlights look fantastic 
Now onto the things you could possibly Improve on. (And I hope you don't think I'm being too harsh - I'll try my best to explain how you can fix simple/common errors)
If realism is what you were hoping to aim for, the nose shouldn't have any defined lines. Instead what I would do is blend, and create shadows. This will show the shape of it and to create the illusion of defined lines. (when in fact, their really is none.)
Also keep an eye on your proportions. The body, is the tinniest bit smaller than the head and width of the neck. To fix this simple problem (which is something I even struggle with) you should rule lines/Boxes. (This applies to both your drawing, and a printed out copy of the picture you are referencing from) The boxes, can be used as a guideline for what goes where. This way you can draw a picture in segments, rather than as a whole. I find this method is less overwhelming, and really helps.
I hope this helps you out

THANK YOU! You don't know how much I loved this comment
I'm glad you recognized it, at least I'm good enough for that to happen
The things you pointed out as wrong I sort of noticed, I just had a really hard time figuring out how to fix them and left it as it was 
Thanks again for this criticism, it was really helpful

You're very welcome m'dear! 
Ahhh okay, I totally understand. I've done that for the exact same thing before, for the exact same reason. Or simply because I didn't know how to fix it myself.
I'm glad you found my tips helpful, and that I wasn't to harsh. That's the last thing I'd intend to do.
It's no problem at all, once again. I love to help out in whatever small way I can

I love comments more than anything, and I always try to respond to them, even if it's a while after they're left
Yeah, that's sorta how I feel, too. But with tips I can try to improve that, which is why I LOVE constructive criticism
