How to draw female character’s face from a 3/4 angle 2

Student
I am completely new to art with this being one of the first drawings I have done so I hope things turned out okay, what areas do I need to work on to improve?
This was my free course and I’m excited to see the other classes there are a lot of new techniques in this video
I had never heard of but they helped a lot.

Well done! You’ve had a really great go at a difficult lesson!
The lines are very beautiful! The hair and eyes are also well painted! I am glad that the lesson was helpful!
To move on to the next step, you need to (1) learn the proportions of the face, and (2) practice drawing the face looking straight at the screen. The shortcut to improvement is to practice drawing the face looking straight at the screen. To make sure you are drawing it straight, it is a good idea to draw a straight line as in your teacher’s example before placing the parts of the face.
Keep up the good work!
