Much better than your average first time poster for sure. The only part of the picture I had an issue with was the face. This is most likely just personal preference, but I felt that the head was a bit strangely shaped which in turn caused the hairstyle to look too disheveled and unattractive. On another note, the makeup was a very nice touch and I thought it added a hint of flavor that many artists never even consider. I think the way you drew her nostrils made her nose look wider than intended. The way her mouth goes so wide without the lips really connecting looks more cartoonish, and if that was what you were going for then it makes sense to me. Without a bit of color inside her mouth it was hard to tell if those were weird teeth or what in there, until I zoomed in. Once the picture became larger it was easy to tell.
All in all, great job, I look forward to seeing more of your work.
