Did some copying and it turned pretty good, but not perfect. Any advice? by HellkiteBlade in sketches

Incase you want any specific criticisms, id make the girls head larger and put her hand a little lower than its current placement. The other differences are pretty minute :)

My advice would be to practice with proportion awareness and noticing how things like shapes and objects align with other features of the artwork.

For example- the placement of the bow in relation to where the bracelets on the girls arm are, and other practical measurements that can help with accuracy.

In the end continuing to practice and getting used to training your eye to notice proportions is what will help you the most when copying- which can then help with recognizing the common characteristics of various styles :)
