@Former-Member, if you're OK with a bit of critique?

Your shading is good. I like the colour gradations that you've used for the folds of the dress. The colouring of the hair is great. Again, a combination of shades has given it a lot of life. The hands and arms are in an awkward position which means there's a lot of visual foreshortening. Getting the sense of prespective right with an irregular form (such as the human body) is really hard. I did life drawing as part of my studies, and poses where a limb was foreshortened from my position were a bit of a nightmare to get right! Face is pretty good, but the skintone looks a little bit flat. You could probably get away with a bit more careful shading there to get a bit more scupting of the face. Left hand looks pretty good, right hand looks a bit out of shape. All in all though, it's definitely getting there, particularly if you haven't used pencils for a while. I wouldn't do so well at the moment. I'm long out of practice!
