I was feeling brave and decided to copy from a reference today. Tracing had me worried that I wouldn't have the chops to make something good, but I'm satisfied. I was watching Knights of Guinevere and this frame really caught my attention.

I had a more involved post last time, but this time I am working with pencil and paper, so here's the final result again:

I thought it looked pretty good, but I wanted to see where I could improve. I dropped this into Krita and started checking the differences:

Obviously, this isn't useful, so I went and drew lines to see the difference between the reference and sketch:

I noted that the original is wider, but I really caught the left edge of the face pretty well so I'm proud of that. The hair is much thinner/closer to the right half. Despite this, I think I got what was aiming for.

P.S., would definitely recommend (it's free):
