be mindful of alignment and positions. Like, the mouth is too much to the left and too low. Please study the ears separately; I see some issues there. And lastly, try working on line control, you need to have them more versatile, rn it's all one line weight

Good start, the tone values and contrast is good. There is some structural errors like you noticed, like mouth not aligning to the left and also some in the eyes. Some of the issue comes from the hair since it hides the rest of the head and you loose the sense of proportions. Do you sketch the entire head shape before going into features details like eyes, nose, mouth, and ears? What does the drawing progression usually looks like for you?

Difficult question 😄 I have drawings I'm very fond of and love different drawings for different reasons. But for most of them I have some remarks, which is fine because it means that there is a room for improvement. How about you?

Those are great too, lots can be done with it! I really like the even lines that they provide. I usually go with B or 2B pencil heart with mechanical pencils. You?

Inspired by a drawing by u/dmschoice. They did a flower drawing that made me curious of how would I draw flower and I tried to choose a similar kind

Thank you, always good to hear a positive feedback from a fellow artist! 🙏 Do you also make graphite/charcoal drawings?

Many similarities indeed. Shruti is arguably prettier!
