I used an image of Anok Yai for reference. Seeking constructive criticism as something doesnt look quite right. Thank you!

I like it. My only suggestion is to be a little more concerned about placing down lines so tonal areas areas read as tones. For example, on the right cheek there is a dark β€œline” that disturbs the tonal aspect of the cheek.

Note: I am NOT suggesting you change the style of the drawing. Just be aware that tonal areas need an evenness so the viewer can see it as a tone. I think your style is fine! It’s not a bad drawing!
