Well the first thing that came to my mind is that the eyes are too far up and too large.....also the skin should be smoother. The mouth line also conveys a displeasing mood. The girl looks displeased. [german mode on] Sie sieht aus als w�rde sie den Betrachter verachten. [german mode off]

Well the face is definetly out of proportions. Go take a look at some magazines or in the mirror and check what proportions face has and how the face changes with expressions. Try to draw what you see and not what you think you see. It'll take you longer that way instead of drawing from memory, but you get better results.

hmmm, well just cos no one else has replied, i shall try to impart some of my learning point to you. Firstly the idea of beauty is held with the beholder, that said, if i wanted this girl to represent my idea of beauty then i would line the ears up with the eyes properly, i would also give her a seductive slightly pursed mouth, i would also soften the stern look she has in her eyes. and i would turn her head slightly and cover part of her face with hair to suggest a slightly shy or timid look. other than that hey,, its your picture, just play a bit..
