values are fine, composition needs work. You shouldn't crop the top of a persons head in a drawing.
It's hard to really tell the quality of the shading since the image is so low res, but thumbnail looks good. As long as you kept your pencil strokes tight, controlled, and consistent it's okay.

>> No.2299797

>>2299792
Thanks, I appreciate the advice. The top of the head isn't cropped, it's just covered by another drawing because I haven't finished the hair yet. I don't have a good strategy for dealing with hair so it's a slow process.

I agree. But the point of reproducing the photograph was to practice values. Nothing wrong with that, it's good for muscle memory.

Also, it's inadequate to compare those two drawings for an idea of my skill level, considering one is a 30min sketch that was done simply to test an unfamiliar construction method, while the other represents hours of careful observation.
