...Jolie... but as I haven't even been near my wacom for 10 months it looks absolutely nothing like her... so anyways, this is pretty much my first painting with the Wacom... didn't use it all that much after I bought it and then moved away, so whatever crits or comments you have would be much apreciated =)

ps. ignore the neck, I screwed it up

Well the problem that does leap out at you first of all is her nose. It is canting at quite a different angle to all the rest of the face. Her eyes do seem to be look in different directions as well, and her right eye seems malformed though that could just be trickery of the eyelashes. It also doesn't seem to be following the flow of her face quite right. I like how you have defined her right side of her face, that cheek bone is looking great. Her hair makes her head look deformed a bit though, as it looks like some of the stuff on her left is growing out from where head wouldn't usually be. Her lips also bother me a bit, but no where near as much as her real lips so that may be a good sign! Ah, ok, they aren't quite in the same perspective as the rest of her face it seems. Keep practising, I like how you did a lot of the shading and the rendering of her hair looks terrific.
