Nice careful work Rebecca.

Maybe, a bit too careful. You could afford to have a little more fun with your pencil so that your lines would show up a bit. It seems a bit stiff, or rigid. Look at the legs and the bench. They are just a bit woody, or flat.

Sometime you should just let your hands cut loose and make some lines without worrying too much about them. You have a lot of ability. You just need to relax and let your lines come out with a little flamboyance.

It is a matter of style, I guess. A drawing can afford to have a little texture and lines. If you work the lines away, it is like overcooking the soup. You lose the individual flavors.
