Nice charcoal drawing. I like the combination of smoky shading with a more linear use of the charcoal to define features. The features seem generally well-drawn. There are a couple of small things that I question - first the position of the ear seems a little too far forward given the angle of her head and the shadow under the nostril seems to start a little too low below the nostril. I am also not sure how to read the form below her head - is it a cloak? I think a little more definition of at least the top edge describing what the object is would help frame the head more satisfyingly.
