'Ello Abigail! XD First off, I just want to say this is pretty good. Now down to business.

Your shading is done pretty well I guess, but I have nothing to compare it to. I'm assuming you copied off of a picture. If you could put the original picture on here, that'd be great!

I love how you drew her neck and her shirt, it's rather pretty. However, the line on her lips (you know, the line that appears in the middle when you close your mouth. Know what I mean?) doesn't look exactly right. It's too straight across. Her head is at an angle first of all. Second of all, that line doesn't go straight across...most of the time. Her mouth isn't exactly committed to my memory, so I could be wrong about her, but just going off of what I know :D

Also, there's no real texture to her hair. It doesn't really...look like hair. It's just a big black, for lack of a better word, blob/smudge. It could be a style of drawing, because I've seen it before, but I'm not sure, it could've looked like that in the picture.

I love the way that you drew her nose, it looks really nice. I'd say work a little on the eyes (don't worry, it is really hard. I still haven'te got it down either, so I only draw really dark eyes hahahaha).

Overall, it's pretty good but with a few tweaks it could be great! Keep drawing darling Abigail!

From what I see, it is a good piece of work. I do agree with what was said before. The hair does look smudged. But then again, agreeing with what the previous person typed, if you were to have copied this off of a picture, please post the original picture that way a more detailed review will be given with the comparison between two pictures provided.

I'd have to say that I like the way that you drew the eyes. The shadowing on the eye lid is pretty good. I say this because I know that I can never get the eyes write when drawing a human face. Lol.

The long line right under the lip seems a little bit too much. I think if it was drawn a little bit more lightly or was drawn to be a shorter line, it would fit a little better with the picture.

Other than that, that's all I have to say. Good job.
