Very nice, the hair looks nice and soft
Would have been nice to add some light/reflection in the eyes, but looks great anyway

I think I might try to copy your technique sometime soon just to experiment with different pencil handling. ^^
As said before many times: It's soft as a pillowy dream. Really a fascinating outcome.
But as always I wonder why nobody tells the people that want to learn from drawings like this what strengths of pencil they used...
B? HB? 3H? 8B?
(there really is no need for a step-by-step collage, just the pencils help understanding what came first and what last)

Thank you 
Re. the pencils I used... it's best (I think) to build up layers on a drawing using a range of pencils, so I started with a layer of HB on the skin, building up the shadows and tones with other pencils that get gradually softer/darker, eg. 2B, 4B and then 8B for the darkest areas. For the hair (blonde is very annoying), I used a regular HB pencil to draw the base, then an HB mechanical pencil to get more defined detail, then used softer pencils for the darker, shadier areas.
Hope this is helpful!

She looks pensive and a bit unsure, so you should title it "Convince Me"

I'm sure almost every comment says something of the sort, but...LOVE the hair! You did a great job capturing blonde hair, which is always hard with graphite (for me anyways). Any tips?

I know what you mean, blonde hair can be awful to draw... I tend to focus mainly on the darkest area of the blond first (usually the roots!!) and draw out the detail from there. Some areas are ok to leave blank to leave the detail to your imagination- you know it's there but it's too blonde to see.

I think this is one of the most pretty things I've seen in a while... did you model her after someone? Because I have an old elementary school friend who looks almost exactly like that. O.o weird. :-D My thoughts on a title would be something like "Off in a Another World" or "Ode to Daydreaming" or anything of that sort...She looks like she's daydreaming and the way her mouth is drawn, it doesn't look like it's a bad one...
Good job!
