I tried to keep as much of her features as I can. If you are struggling with an angle of a face, I recommend looking up references or use a 3D model and pose it at the angle you are going for. Drawing parallel lines on the eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips and then place those features on the lines accordingly can help with proportions. You can also imagine the face as a paper and curve the paper to determine where the facial features should be. For hair, just try to imagine the thinner layers as ribbons in 3D space and thicker chunks as tubes with a tip. Basically different 3D forms. if you struggle to drawing on bigger canvases you can zoom out so it's easier to manage or if you cant, try drawing with more of your arm movements. Instead of only using your wrist, move your whole arm for a wider range of motion. The shoulders are just a bit too wide in my opinion so I adjusted that.

Artist's notes:
Something's up with the face, but I'm not sure what, so if someone could help identify that would be awesome. I find I always have trouble when drawing bigger than my palm, any advice? also, the body feels a little too big, is that just me? lastly, the shading in general seems a little wonky. thanks!

It always helps to start with building the figure and head as a mannequin made of 3D shapes first. Then when everything looks like it is working, you can add some anatomy and other details. I hope this helps :)
