It's pretty nice. Some more practice with shading and you get rid off of those black outlines.

The image chosen couldn't be better. ACC forever !

The dark outer edges that separates her arm from face, or arm from background, or face/ear from hair. That's what I mean.

If you look the original photo, you won't see such dark edges.

It's common way to draw of course, and nothing wrong with that. But with shading you can avoid drawing those outlines. It will become then more photograph like, where the shapes are distinguished by shades and not hard outlines. It's more real that way.

You have used the shading in other places like her cheek and nose, and there it works very nicely. You only need to take it little further to get rid off of those outlines altogether. You are on right track already.

Of course, it's not necessary to be done like said. Since it is one drawing style to leave them there.

I dont draw like that... ever. If I want it to look like a photo, then i would photoshop it. Most of the time i use pen to accent the lines for deeper deffinition, however this time i didn't have a sharpie around.

Well, obviously I didn't meant they should be just like photo. It was just way to explain what kinda look that shading will bring.

Do you draw with photoshop, too, or why the photoshop reference ? Can you show some drawings ?

I myself like more the more realistic way of drawing. Where the shapes are bring into live with shadings instead of lines. Style that you might see from Arjun, Klsadako or Neotony. Altho, like said, there's nothing wrong in this more line based drawing style, too. And you can mix them too, like you have done. All the drawings really are wonderful.

draw with photoshop entirely? no. That would take a crazy long amount of time, but, i do use it for any mods i do... example this one you've seen...
Original


After photoshop


Not meant to look like a photo but just to show mods considering i spent about 2 mins on this
