This is really one of your most expressive works. I really, REALLY admire the shading on this one--you've done such an excellent job. The idea behind the caution tape is really, really cool (I have to borrow that sometime...) I like the expression in her eyes, and the individuality you've given her with her many piercings in her ears.
Now, the profile... You might actually want to borrow one of my How to Draw Manga books to work on them. Even though they are more anime-style, they still show the basic idea behind drawing the side of someone's face. Your main problem is that the profile itself is way too flat and long. It helps to think of the shape of the skull--it's very round, almost circular in the back (though here you have it rather oblong shaped) and the face kind of takes on that curve, a bit, though it sticks out more. Erk, I don't know that I'm making sense, but yeah. I'll show you in person sometime, ne?
Keep up the great work. It's good to use art to express yourself, and I'm sorry I wasn't there when you were at Governer's school to give you a big freaking HUG.
Very artistic. The shading is exquisite - egads, the fingers! - and the caution tape is wonderfully rendered. I also love the flow of the hair, and the way you gave it so much shape in the shading. Her eyes are a little high up her face and her chin's a bit close to her neck, but it's very lovely work otherwise. Great feeling, again. You're very expressive in your art, and that's what's important.
