I think this is a simple yet gorgeous design

The linework is simple yet effective, and the variety of boldness in the lines really helps create a sense of shadows <3

I agree with ^Pyrochan-dolls about the cropping ^__^ I think the deviation just needs some overall space- mostly on the top near the eye. That way, it's easier to direct your attention towards it. As it is right now, my attention was directed towards the nerves so I think a good ammount of additional space on the side would really help the emphais; just enough to bring the eye lower down the page to really help emphasize it <3

Overall a beautiful piece of work ^^

The only thing I think 'dragging' this piece down is your cropping which then influences the composition.

The eye should be the most important thing, but because it's cropped to the top almost falling off the page I totally missed it.

You could play around with adding more white space on the top of the image, or at the bottom, o even cropping off parts of the bottom drawing so they're 'falling off' the page so the image doesn't float so much.

Technically I think this is a beautiful lineart, just I think you could play so much more with cropping and image layout
