Description
I saw a tattoo with something like this on it and I thought it looked cool. I used micron liners for the butterflies and I used a white gel pen for the white outlinesRelated content

I know sketchbook drawings sometimes have a mind of their own, but be weary of the placement of your images. The dotted lines eat into your composition, which isn't a problem in itself, but for reproduction purposes (for example), it might be.
I like how this is both beautiful and abstract! There's a really nice balance between the black at the bottom and the negative space at the top. However, the cropping of the image eats into that, and forces your figure into a more contained space.
You have some extra pencil marks floating around the top part and neck area. They should either be cleaned up because they don't belong there, or incorporated in such a way that they interact with elements of the piece. I'm not sure whether they are purposeful, so they just read as distracting to me.
What is the focal point of this image?
You have such a soft color palette that the red lips pop as the most bold color. If this isn't supposed to be the case, think how you can make the butterfly wings more vibrant or the blacks more solid. Simply playing with the brightness/contrast/saturation can help with this.

I see... next time I'll try to crop the image/erase around the drawing. I probably should space everything better too! Thank you for the feedback!

Definitely remember to erase and clean up extra marks. It makes the difference of your piece looking that much more polished.
Something that could help with spacing is creating a border/frame for yourself to work within. You could measure a half inch border (or something) all around and then work within that area. You could use drafting tape to tape off areas. This gives you a more concentrated work space, and if you color outside the border or something, it's not a big deal and won't ruin your composition.

Oh that's a good idea!
