Lightning FFXIII Fan Art

I haven't done a Destiny-themed art piece yet as I'm still working on human faces, portraits and my other weak points in art so I can do a good one. This is my first portrait that I've done and I'd like any feedback whatever it is. I drew this using pencils of varying shades and it took about 8 hours to finish. Other info about it can be found here: http://themisthunter.deviantart.com/art/Lightning-Final-Fantasy-XIII-443262027?q=gallery%3ATheMistHunter&qo=1 Here's my DA page if you want to keep up with me: http://themisthunter.deviantart.com/

    Everything seems way too light, that's either my monitor or the scanner, I quickly darkened it on PS anyways. But basically to reiterate on Cal's point you need to use a wider range of values, which I know is a real pain with just pencils shading large spaces. You could try a few quick value studies with other mediums (charcoal, markers, digital were my go-to) to get a good range, and just do quick test sketches. But still, that's definitely a great first portrait, better than my first for sure, and it's always good to push the parts you're weaker in.
