Hello Sarie, welcome to Drawspace! I love the ducky in the pond painting. As for the portrait, it looks like you're off to a great start in portraiture, if you'll browse through some of the free lessons offered here you'll find some helpful tips for how to draw life-like hair, which can often be the most difficult part of a portrait. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress and participation, don't forget we have a weekly drawing challenge hosted by volunteer members (you're welcome to host a week if you'd like), and also cartoon challenges, and a monthly ATC (art trading card) exchange.
