    Hi! I recently feel kind of bored with long drawing sessions, so i started doing something like sketch+, use eraser only when I really must (here 4 times I think) And I basically ask for style critique (I know hand proportions are off ;p)
    Thanks!

    Hi!
    Firstly, your proportions are respected, even for the hand. Usually the open hand is about the same size as the face, which is the case here.
    Then I advise you to add a little more volum on the sides of the hair and to work these latter by mass of shadow and light rather than making small strokes, this will give them an effect of volum and more realistic movement.
    The nose is very well made but I would add slightly more contrasted shadows to make it stand out in relation to the cheeks. Same for the mouth, rather than drawing the contours, you can draw by mass of color, and added stronger shadows. 
    The problem with drawing a mouth in this style is that it seems a bit flat, keeping the same aesthetic, but by working more on shadows, you will manage to give the impression that your drawing is in volume, even with your own style! Your style is soft and assumed and it’s great! I repeat myself again but to develop it to the maximum you just need to work on the volumes and this by going through the shadows. I had the same problem, especially don’t hesitate to make assumed and contrasted shadows even if it means coming back to erase them afterwards. When you make shadows, there are several techniques, shavings more or less described, colors that you can have by sharpening the lead of your pencil with a cutter... However, be careful not to blend all the shadow with your fingers! The blending is more done to connect the shadow and the light.
    Good luck!
