Here Be Dragons
Ah, a tablet, how nice! I have been wanting one for a very long time but I never have the chance to try my hand on one.
Well, I don't draw very often, I am not that artsy to begin with so I guess I just have to give you some general critique?
I would say that this is very good for your first attempt!
I can't really say much about the proportion, it's fine, but it's just a little off(the face is a little too wide, the neck a little too thin relatively)(the outline of the eyes should be smaller or the iris should be larger to fill in the 'white space' or scelera of the eyes above the iris so that it looks more natural, the way you scaled them makes it looks like she is opening her eyes wide by force, as the eyelids will usually cover the iris partially when relaxed, so the outline of iris is usually in contact with the upper and lower eyelid), and that's complete normal for newbie when drawing face and anatomy! Using some reference when drawing will guarantee to help with that. And if practice oftenly, I believe if will not be a problem!
This is a very good draft, and if you are planning to refine this, I suggest applying some line dynamics? That is one of the privileges of using a table instead of a mouse after all!
I would assume your tablet is sensitive to pressure and will create varying thickness of line in response to that? You can try to utilize that by creating lines with varying thickness in your line art. This makes the line art looks smoother and helps to create the illusion of depth and volume.
