I feel your pain.

Your main issue, by the way. That, and the anatomy of the visible hand and the head since they need to be fleshed out. But the details are good. I only hoped you didn't become lazy enough to finish the bottom.

You tilted the eyes and noseline a little bit. It makes the face look like it's shapeshifted. The hair is also a bit too small horizontally which adds to that. For the rest I like it though.

I think the perspective looks off past her boob area because of her shirt. I feel like the bottom part of her shirt is too box-like if you know what I mean. It should gradually curve with the shape of her back, but it looks like a box in a way, with a sharp edge. I think that is what makes the perspective look weird.

But this is well beyond anything I could draw. It looks very well drawn, even for using a reference.

i'm pretty sure the shapeshifted thing is from my camera angle, the eyes are like that if you look at source image
not really sure what you mean by noseline but i assume its same thing

raymond is righto here
except that it looks well drawn "even for using a reference"
it should probably look well drawn because i'm using a reference...

i promise i'll draw better next time T_T

It's better than what I can draw, and probably loads of other people. But yeah, the face looks like it's shape-shifted and the perspective's a little off. It looked sort of flat as well in certain areas, like it lacked the volume that the referenced image had.

I don't know if this will help, but maybe try visualising the actual structure of the human body. You probably still won't get an accurate drawing, but if it all makes sense it will keep the sense of volume and like it all fits together rather than a flat looking shape.

Proportions are really off. Try putting down some guidelines, and it always helps to put down some gesture in the beginning. 1 or 2 lines of action so you really understand where the weight is a bit.

Well not everyone can create something like this just by using a reference. Tracing is one thing because your literally tracing over top of it, but just using a reference is different. Size, shape, and proportions are still determined by your drawing experience. How accurately you can match your reference is a skill in itself.

But yea I still get your point. Oh and her face looks fine to me, maybe her nose is a bit too low on her face, but that could just be me.
