Dont know why your not happy with the way it turned out . it looks like her ..shes a babe and i'm a sucker for hats and trenchcoats ..but i not a fan of her music (a bit over produced and mass market for me)but you got skin tone and features just right ..the nose and lips are great ..almost photo relistic ..but done in your style ..I'd be happy with this pic if I were you

You have great skill at working with negative space... it's not the lines you draw, but what you don't fill in, that make this such a unique and lovely picture. I think the shading on her right (your left) cheek could be a bit more blended, though.

Nice and I could tell it was her from the thumb. And I love the contrast, with the really light highlights and the really dark shadows. It's cool.

Not bad for an extreme close up,is it the way you croped the Drawing that makes you unhappy,or are you just not likeing the paper you used and are carrying that tword your work.
I think you stay pretty consistant with your talent.
Blessings!

thankyou Bryan and yes, I don't really like the paper I bought... oh well, I like it when I do pics like the Hillary Duff one but not when I have to apply alot of layers of black... I must get different paper for that. So, I think I will get some tomorrow.
