Tell me if I screwed up on something.

Links nose is too rounded and wierd looking. It could also use color.
Otherwise it looks great!! Keep up the good work.

Thanks, and I did color it, but then my scanner broke.  :'(

Aww that is so sweet, maybe the outfits could have some more detail, but I think their faces are gorgeously drawn, well done.

If I offend you or something with this post, I'm truly sorry. But you asked for critique, and I'll give it to you.

Link's nose is perfectly fine; I actually like it better than Ilia's nose. Of course, it's a matter of style preference, but... I'm not going to get into it here. Link looks fine, although his chest is a little too rounded.

Ilia, on the other hand, is a little off. Not by much, mind you. Her shoulder needs to be a little bit higher up, and her neck is a little thick. As for her head... Her eyes are a bit too high up. The human/hylian face structure is something like this:

Half-way down the head are the eyes.
Half-way down from the eyes and the bottom of the head (chin) is the bottom of the nose.
Halfway from the nose to the chin is the mouth, lip size depends on your style/the race/gender, etc.
Ears are usually from the mouthline to the top of the eye, but once again, style plays a role in this. (As well as the shape of the ear itself, I doubt Link's ears would follow this rule well)

Style can change most of these, but not too dramatically, it'll look weird otherwise. And I wasn't saying everything about Ilia's face is wrong, it's just that the eyes are off in the placement a little. Also, neither of them have eyebrows... but they aren't really needed, and I think their hair could hide them really easily. xD

I love Link's expression, and you did much better on their eyes and hair than I ever could. ;w; And I'm afraid I'm guilty of forgetting his earring, I like little details like that. xD

And once again, I'm very very sorry if I offended you in any way whatsoever by my comment; I'm just trying to help. (Practice helps a lot, too.)
