you got the outline really well done for the image
but as i've been reading up the, lines for the lips shouldn't be any darker than the lips themselves also since you've got some good shading starting im curious how you're doing it? i got some tips im willin to share ... if interested.

Hi. I'm interested in any advice. I know that I still have a lot to learn.
How i doing shading? I draw first basic lines and details, then blurring graphite after the places where I want the shadows. I do it with finger, but I have learned that for this purpose are better Q-tips. Finally, i highlight the lines with 3B pencil and complete details with mechanical pencil.

q-tips are awesome - generally a finger ya it can be done ,
but the oils of your skin can make a terrible mess.
ideas : if you take the q-tip clip 1 end and use an emery board
to clean and refine the type of tip you got on it , you can make it blunted or very sharp ;
and work in small circles.
-if you get a chance i got some awesome shading tutorials that might help expand the skill set and jack hamm has an awesome book that's titled for drawing the head and hands but has awesome details in drawing ,pencils , anatomy , geometry and more

Thank you for the tips. I'll try find that book.
So far I have mainly used for bluring my finger. But now I'm training shading with Q-tips.
Basically, I have no tutorials (or any art school) yet been studied(in terms of pencil drawing). But I began to draw portraits for my friends, and they said to the me what they like or dislike. One nice girl from art school we are advised not to be afraid to use darker lines. And through the Christmas I began to experiment with shading.
Do you have some advice for me?
Possible observations to a file? I greatly appreciate all comments and advice

i have ; deviantart has and youtube has endless quantities of shading tutorials available
i was recently taught how to make a paperstump stick from q-tips via clipping an end of 1 then using a cheap emery board/nail file to shape /clean and soften the tip as needed and then using the stick in small circular motions to spread the lead
for broader sections i've used a standard cheap paintbrush set brush from wal-mart
its easier to spread from dark to light than light to dark
-learn the details of what pencils do what
i.e pencils with an H on them means the lead is hard and value or tone is light like grey/silvery
pencils with a B is darker and softer (meaning you dont have to press as hard to get a lot of lead/graphite on the paper) the higher the number respective to each type means its even more soft or hard
the B is great for dark regions and the HB isnt bad for quick outlines
6h
4h
2h
hb
2b
4b
6b (darkest)
charcoal has a similar scale
and works well with brushes
i included some links in the last message for tutorials
also something for the lips work out from the darkest slowly to give it that realistic tone
remember you're spreading the lead/graphite more than anything else and different texture i.e paper/bristles/chamois and well anything give different results for shading
check my favorites here out i have tons and i mean tons of categorized tutorials marked

whoa whoa whoa ,
beware - do not buy the most expensive stuff
not to be mean but thats a suckers buy , you're learning
take your time get stuff thats sufficient , i.e wal-mart or
something inexpensive supplies till you've built your skill set up
- you'll waste more money buyin the stuff new than just working with the less spensive stuff first
its the same concept of a kids first car , you dont buy a 16yr/o a audi or a benz or a mustang , you find a beatup car and rebuild it cause its gonna be a bumper car literally
as for paper cheap 3-4$ sketchbooks are more than sufficient for learning purposes , its in how you use it that makes it work.
having the expensive stuff is not going to make the stuff look any more or less awesome than what your skill permits -not to be rude
this is just my 2cents to save you $$ and cool and in reference to the tutorial that is an awesome one - note though half the effects can be achieved with makeshift tools and cheaper supplies.

gioncanda is over priced -
faber-castell is possibly going to be the midline product for ya
common enough and not too terribly overpriced
but
[link]
this place doesnt seem badly priced from what i can see
dont forget ebay is your friend so's craiglist if its available for you.
as for what im guessing is 30lbs im not aware of what the current currency market value is from the dollar to the pound ; im a thrifty person granted i wont buy the truely cheap stuff cause its usually not up to par for use
but the commercially available isnt usually too bad before you go to the actually going to an art store requirements.
office paper isnt bad but its smudgy and smoooth like silk in some cases - and blending can be made more difficult for how easy it doesnt stay
thats why a moderately rougher paper makes a difference
as a finaly note it never hurts to see whats on clearance either
