Portrait: My little sister "G-Bug"

Hi everyone and anyone, this section's choice was expressive portraits or a portrait of any kind. The medium I used for this project was pencil on regular 11" by 13" sketching paper (my favorite kind, I love pencil and charcoal!) and it was my mama's idea to sketch my little sister. Normally, I'm very good when it comes to realistic and real-life drawings, particularly people, like this portrait . However, for some reason, my hand just wasn't on the same page as my mind was this time, and I'm disappointed with the drawing. The nose is slightly off balance and her cheek bones are a little too bold, though the shading is satisfying. I believe I can do better and I would like to try my sister again. But, for now, this piece is done. Any comments would be greatly appreciated as to this serious case of 'artist block.'

While I really can appreciate your "artist's block" (I have writer's block sometimes), I think your drawing is really good...of course, I can't speak to the likeness to your sister, but I love the eyes and can almost feel the texture of the hair. I like it!
