Takagi-san

So, the overall drawing is great, love it. Because this seems more like a realistic rendition of the anime, this is where my critiques come into play. I only have really two things that I would suggest, one being the nose; I would try to make it more realistic to match the face, as it is a very defining feature for identifying a face. I would also suggest making her nose (if not other features) smaller to make her look a bit younger. My second Critique is that your realistic portrayal of Takagi seems like she is older (closer to high school (15 or 16 years old) than middle school (12 to 13 years old)). I did read that this is a 1 hour sketch, and with this quality of work done in that span of time is amazing! I just hope you can take my advice with what you are trying to do and build upon it. Keep up the great work and remember that you can always improve.
