The majority of this drawing is executed flawlessly. The detail put into the lips and wisp of hair crossing the hair is very impressive. However, the depiction of the eyes majorly deviates from the reference. I'm not sure what is meant to be portrayed in the unusual textures below them (also above the eyebrows and lips), but to me they are particularly unsettling. The improper handling of highlights I can handle (many highlights are too harsh or misplaced), but the presence of these textures cannot be excused.

Overall this portrait displays exceptional skill and capacity for detail. With a more careful watch on the textures and highlights of a drawing, I believe you will reach a point of exceptional quality.
I remember a very talented artist once said to me that it is how it makes me feel that is the best critique. And that makes you qualify to be able to give critique! So I will start there, the first emotion is sadness for the story behind the eyes, the expression and face. I feel like their was a lot going on in this mind before this. I connect instantly with her passion and I want to run the backs of my fingers lovingly over her cheek. I personally will always be drawn to the graphite, because it is my fave medium. But in this case the graphite brings even more emotion and story to the piece. The light and shadow on this is outstanding and the eyes are exquisite! My only thing and this purely personal is the earing is a little wierd for me, but it may be your intention to have it look blurred
Cheers
