That is so beautiful! The way the eyes are glancing back at the viewer is just captivating! I love how you pay attention to detail, whether it's drawing the individual hairs of the eyebrows growing in a natural direction, or subtle texture in the lips and the irises of the eyes.
I'd encourage you to start working on smoothing your graphite marks in areas like faces and other skin. Softer lead (the B pencils) can make it easier to smudge and blend, otherwise investing in several very hard pencils (the H pencils) and developing a light touch can be effective, too. Hard leads tend to push graphite from softer pencils into the grain of the paper, or they can help you create a range of values that smoothly blends into the white of the paper. But I'm sure I don't have to tell you to experiment.

On one final note, are you able to post links to any references you might be using? (that can help viewers like me more accurately pinpoint areas you've been successful, or give better suggestions on how a piece might be improved, based on the reference.)

wow thank you very much and yes i should get more pencil types... but i cant stand working with too soft pencils, since they can smudge so easily and i always end up ruining the whole thing
and your right, i should add the reference link however, this particular one, i used a picture i had of her and just found in one of my folders....and i couldnt be bothered to find it on google again

Hehe, I've gradually been adding to my collection of drawing pencils, so now when I take the time for a full-scale project like this people walk by and give me funny looks. Especially when I start muttering, "Where's my 3B? I need my 3- no, that's a 4B! ...NO it's not the same thing!!! Where on earth's my 3B?!"

Hehe, no need for a reference, was just a thought! The goal of some people is to make their drawing as accurately similar to the reference as possible, and other people say that defeats your unique artistic style, so whatever works for you!

haha yeah there so many, it gets confusing

true i try to draw in my style, but still not make it look nowhere near the original...whiyh hardly ever works out but oh well
thank you agiain
