First things I notice: it passes the at-a-glance test, meaning at a first glance I look at it and go “Wow. That’s good!” I really like how crisp the shadows are, how there’s a range of values with the darkest in her hair to the lightest highlights. The face is well-done and overall the drawing looks complete and polished.Now onto some ways I think it could be even better: the easiest is to clean up the scan a little bit. I notice you probably snapped a photo on an iPhone which is fine— it can distort proportions a little bit if you’re not careful. Best option is a scanner; you can also use the perspective rotation feature on Instagram (or similar app) to get it all the way straight. Then using Photoshop or GIMP, narrow your source values range so the background is just about white. That’ll bring out the contrast as well.Then just a couple of little anatomy things: her legs are too short and thin compared to her torso; the hand holding the sword isn’t convincing (looks like a little bit of an awkward way to hold the sword handle unless it’s narrow enough to fit in the space between her index and middle fingers. Looking at the image in a mirror or even turning it on its side can help you appreciate some of these distortions better. And the shoulder on the left is kind of missing. If it’s behind her hair then the hair should bend in a way that reflects that.Overall, very nice work!
