Hello again!

This is a work in progress. Please give me some pointers, for I want to make sure this is done right! (and yes, her eyes are crossed in the photo!) I still have to finish up the hat, and am working on the shadowing in the face. Any comments would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Again, the lines do not carry the drawing. This drawing has front lighting, a poor choice for pencil.

You would benefit greatly by chiseling your point and trying to draw with a chiseled point method, create some texture with the lead and some character in your lines. If a drawing has beautiful lines, they will carry the drawing even if the form does not.
