Pretty

Holy cow! That looks fantastic. Great job!

Its a beautiful picture, but it doesn't capture Kagome realistically. She doesn't look Asian. lol

Good though the lack of shading on the forehead, under the hair, on the shoulder, under the eyebrows, on the cheeks, nose, and chin make the image appear too flat.

It's as if she's 3D where you have added shading like on the mouth and the sides of the face but the rest is 2D which isn't so bad just inconsistent.

The eyebrows I like though they seem to lack shape which could be more as half of both are concealed by the hair rather then being shapeless.

I do like that you can see the individual hairs, though you probably wouldn't be able to see that much detail unless it was a close-up photograph.

The eyelashes are good but again the lack of shading to define the inner eye-lid makes it seem as if the hair is growing out of her skin instead of out of a fold of her skin under the eye.

The nose is over-sized, especially the bottom of it. If you defined it with shading it would probably reduce the overall size. It just looks large in proportion to the rest of her face probably because of the lack of definition.

The shape of the face, the size, and the distance between her eyes, nose, and mouth to her cheeks looks consistent and balanced, which is hard if you're drawing blind. Photo-refs help alot in getting the proportions right too. You've done well here to get the balance just right.

The hair I think is wonderfully detailed but messy in terms of the lines. Trying to draw realistic hair is not an easy thing to do. It's crazy difficult since the hair essentially flops in any and all directions where-ever it settles long or short on a person's head and shoulders.

There is no easy way to draw it or to capture it in illustration. You've done quite well here although again the lack of highlights and shadows makes her hair appear too flat and as one solid shape without definition so the viewer doesn't see that the hair underneath should be darker than the hair on-top where light hits it.

Drawing in the strands is excellent here although I see that your lines go from curving to straight too quickly so you lose the definition of the waviness in her hair.

Drawing hair in this level of detail is not easy. There is no hard and fast rule to drawing it like this. You can only learn by again observation by checking out your own hair or studying photographs of people with wavy hair. Even I can only do this to a certain extent with my own art, which I butcher anyway when I shade the entire thing which kills the detailing. XD.

Lovely artwork.
