I'm just gonna say it straight out. First off, your eyes aren't that huge! And those eyes look kinda scary. And what about the pupils of the eyes, you can barely see it. Your eyebrows isn't bushy and huge!! If you want an exact portrait of yourself, learn to put strands of hair hanging out of your hair. If you carefully look at the photo you have, (The freaking bright and happy one.) There is some strands falling out of your hair, but you could barely see them because of the light. Since I'm talking about the lighting, in the actual picture, the lighting is a lot stronger. In your drawing, the lighting isn't that strong, but I guess it's pretty hard to get the exact type of lighting you want. And the hair seems like you drew the outline first, I'm just guessing on that. By the way, your smile isn't slanted to the top left (perspective view) to the bottom right...unless you were holding the picture with your hands and was trying to take a picture of it with the webcam. If so, ignore that...And it seems like the left side seems lighter than the right side. I guess you were trying to get the shadow for the right side, but who am I to judge. Well, after all the crap I said, this is really good and shut up. Your dang portrait is good! Better than mines! And I am totally not going to post that, because: 1.) It looks like poop. 2.) I can't because it's up on the wall for the freaking whole school to see (-.- Why did the art teacher have to choose that one for the art show....) So anyways, good job!! (Hahaha! I love how I was giving a loooong criticism (I believe it's criticism) about your portrait and then I say that it's good...Lovely me...
Ok, first of all, you're really good. It's hard to draw people, so congrats. I've only actually taken a few art classes, but let's see what I can tell simply by observing, shall we?
I agree with you on the eyes--that, and the tops are pretty rounded, while the bottoms are practically flat. Is that how this girl's eyes really are? Also, I see no pupils. Are you going for a sort-of anime/cartoon style? If not, you might want to work on those. (You know, because if you like art, then I assume you'll like working on it.... the way it is for me and writing... yeah.)
The mouth is just a tiny bit crooked, and she looks almost as though she has kitty lips. (Like this: :3) See the lines on each side of her mouth? Unless that's how it actually is, you might want to shade that a bit more lightly.
On the left side of her neck (her left, our right) about halfway down....I was going to say that it kinda blended into the hair, but now I realize that it's probably her shoulder. My bad.
The hair looks flat and a bit lifeless--I think you can fix that by showing how the light glances off it with highlights. You'd hafta ask another artist or your art teacher to know for sure.
Overall, this was pretty good. Nice job.

Hey there Alldrawnout, this is a really nice sketch! Drawing facial expressions is really hard so you really did a great job on this one.
I love the her hair, it's really well-shaded and her eyes are pretty nice and round. Her facial expression is great! The way she smiles really expresses her emotion and transmits it to other people in a really nice way. She also had a well shaped now and a really nice smile. This is a really great sketch, keep up the great work! This would be great if it was a painted, so you should try painting to bring life and color to your work. Overall: Style - 5/5 concept - 5/5
