I don't understand the darker shades next to the light ones, it looks really odd to me.
And I am finally seeing that you were the one worth eating.

Ok, I'll make her hair have less contrast and blend better. Is that what you meant?

Make the face a bit more petite. The left eye (her left) should be closer to the middle, and the eyebrow shorter and thinner.. make the shadows on the eyes more subtle.

your work always has wayy too much contrast going on, especially for a female. there are also edges that seem to always stay really hard in your work, needs some aa imo. other than that, the proportional work, and likeness etc is pretty well done.

Yeah its a bit sketchy but thats because its work in progress. I'll gradually smooth all.

Her strap didn't fall of, I'll draw Austin Powers next to her with a pair of scissors.

Thanks meat car, i moved her eye in, wasn't sure what you meant about the shadows but i made the shadow on her brow less
prominant.

Actually a friend helped me out with the last edit, she just moved the eyes, nose, mouth etc. around and fixed it up.
I think its a vast improvement - more like boyonce and less like a man.

The gaze is more murderous still than it is seductive as in the reference. It has to do with the eyebrows being too strong, I think.

I agree with Helm. In the picture her eyebrows are lighter than her eyeliner.
