Beautiful! I love the hair and mouth, specifically.

My suggestions:

Scan the image and resize it appropriately. I can see the flash from your camera. If you can't complete step one, maybe turn off your flash?

Eyes and eyebrows could use a bit of work. I get the feeling she is of Asian descent, but her eyebrows seem low and her eyes seem a little too close together. It seems like the left eye should be further left, for example.

I'd suggest you add some light to her eyes, but I suppose she's a dead vampire, right? But if you do portraits of life people, it's something to consider.

Think more about shadows and darkness. While you had good shading to show how the face is formed and such, you should probably have more highlights and deeper shadows in some places. As it is, I don't know where the light is coming from.

I think that's all. Good luck with future art, I like your style. Post more!

First thing that I must ask. Is this a painting? Because the strands of hair seem like they're painted. (or maybe it's just the camera)
Anyway, completely blown out of my mind after seeing this! the lips are so perfectly drawn and shaded. They look too real!! :D And the nose, the eyebrows, the hair, it's all so neatly drawn with the rigth proportions. And you were even able to capture the expression of a a blood-thirsty vampire. Kudos to you on that. And you're amazing with portraits.
but you could add a little bit more shading to the face like Cspr said. It would make it more realistic. Anyway, keep it up! :D

Really great portrait! I've never seen the movie or anything but the face seems very realistic to me ^_^

I agree with Cspr that you can try and take clearer pictures of your art, I feel like the camera quality and glare does not do your art justice xP Do you have a scanner perhaps? If not, try taking the picture in good light and try not to catch any glares or interference :)

Anyways, this is beautiful! Like your other drawing, I love the expression. It's like she's looking straight at us and bringing us into the painting. I absolutely love the strands of hair over her face, you drew them so freely and they don't look stiff at all.

The only place of improvement I can see would be the eyes, and it's not a big deal. To me, the left eye (her right eye) looks like it's positioned closer to her nose than the other eye though. This puts things a little off balance. A bit more definition on the eyebrows might help as well xP But really, they are small issues and with practice these things get cleared up really well!

It's great to see your art! Keep posting! :D

I've always meant to watch this (I know it by name and plot, but not experience), and now I must! This is gorgeous :) What medium did you use? It looks like watercolor on my screen.

cron
It had a perfectly round door like a porthole, painted green, with a shiny yellow brass knob in the exact middle. The door opened on to a tube-shaped hall like a tunnel: a very comfortable tunnel without smoke, with panelled walls, and floors tiled and carpeted, provided with polished chairs, and lots and lots of pegs for hats and coats—the hobbit was fond of visitors. The tunnel wound on and on, going fairly but not quite straight into the side of the hill —The Hill, as all the people for many miles round called it—and many little round doors opened out of it, first on one side and then on another.
