Very good. Tone blending done very nicely and smoothly. There is only one thing I'm curious about - does she bite her lips? I ask that because the lips don't look smooth. But many of us do bite our lips, etc. (I'm one), so I don't want to sound like I'm being critical. It really is an excellent drawing!

Thanks! I guess I didn't blend that part to give it a bit more interest rather than being quite smooth all over.

Lovely subtle shading and I think you've done a fantastic job on the main features of her face (that cheeky smile is infectious) for me there are a few areas of the hair that let it do slightly but this is by no means a criticism as it's still an area I've yet to master fully.
Overall I like it very much and hope you are proud of your efforts.

Just out of interest - which areas do you mean in particular? I'm guessing the LHS around the ear...
