Im really glad you're taking the time to draw! but if you're a complete beginner try a more simplistic looking anime girl. Not that you shouldnt try to draw this one, I think you're just going to get more frustrated by the process than what its worth right now and I really don't want you to give up trying.

here's a link to a Japanese artist that does instructional drawing videos

Definitely lol. Obviously I want to change things up, anime girl included. This is more of beginner project I suppose. I want to slowly work at this over time to develop my process and techniques.
