Her eyes and hair seem to be skewed to the right (my right), while the rest of her face isn't. She also has no neck. The pose seems rather unnatural - change it somehow.
Palm too small while the fingers are too long.
A good way to make heads is to start with a bare one, add facial details, then cover it with hair.
I actually started with a bald head, though I never finished the top of the skull.
The eyes might look offset because of the shadows cast from the hair.
She does have a neck but it seems she is kind of hunched or something so it can't be seen.One other thing is the lines, as someone who generally does crappy linework i suggest you work on your lines, they might not be that important in some styles but the one you are doing pretty much demands clean lines.
Yeah, the neck started off longer, then I realized if I shortened it there was a bit of a "hunched" look, which I definitely prefer.
I assume you mean the lines on the hair are unclean, and I'll probably retouch them, if I don't redo most of the hair completely.
Neck is too far to the left. Should be moved a little to the right. Just looks way unnatural.
Right hand looks pretty awkward as well. Typically you don't quite only see the knuckles and they are not at same length too. Right arm should not come in in an ninety degree angle either, that is once again unnatural.
Brb fetching sketch on how I would do it. I'm by no means a master artist but perhaps it helps.
/e: Here it is. Not perfect at all (eye alignment, anyone? also, right arm is a little far up), but it is meant to show a bit of a possible, well, arms-crossed pose.
Thanks for the sketch. I tried the pose myself a few times, and I eventually went with just dropping the hand around the elbow,
since it seemed easier to pull off with how very little hand practice I have. A more natural position would have been the entire hand on the front of the elbow.
Thanks for all of the input everyone, I think I'll try again from a more isometric angle like in Errol's example.
if you people want any more variety, your going to have to wait until I get better at this, or deal with my abstract art.
If I'm going to put multiple hours into something like this, I want it to have some possible use in my scheme.
Errol: I think your sketch looks amazing, and it will make a great reference.
