How to Draw a Well-Balanced Female Character’s Face

Student
Hello, I would like any feedback to help me improve

Teacher
Hi!
This is amazing work; I can tell you’ve worked really hard on it! The characters with different expressions and hairstyles are well-drawn! Each face has its own personality! The balance is also mostly well done!
Regarding the advice for improvement, please look at the attached images.

1) About the balance of the girl’s face in the lower right corner of the image. The centers of the eyes and the entire face are off. Correct the facial contours and adjust the position of the eyes.

2) Regarding the thickness of the lines. Draw the outline thicker and the details thinner to make the picture look better.

3) Be aware of the proportions of facial parts. When facing forward, drawing the mouth in the middle of the nose and chin looks better balanced. Also, the height of the eyes should be drawn a little lower than the upper part of the base of the ears.

Keep up the good work!
