That's a nice pic of Sophia Donoffrio! Since it's still a rough sketch I would take this opportunity if I were you and do some minor corrections. The main issue I'm seeing is the head size. It's a tad on the large size. Reduce the overall size to make it conform with the body more naturally and everything should work out. But other then that everything else looks spot-on! Just so artistic advice from one fellow artist to another  ;)

I wasn't actually referring to me to fix the sketch. This is something that you should do for yourself as an artist. Through the critique I gave you last night it should help you 'mend' the sketch a bit. Lord knows I still make a lot of mistakes when it comes to my pics  :P But if I can help one more artist's skills grow a little further then that's rewarding enough  :)

Her jaw still looks a bit odd to me. :-X
It is precisely because it never cared, that people do care.  It's something which it's lacking, because that which it has, it has lackluster of.

There you go! It looks more natural now  ;) I think what VladCT meant about her jaw is that we don't see the line of the jaw naturally curving along the side of her face to meet with the underside of her ear. I can see this too, however it's not a major fixer-upper like the head size was. Just do a jaw-line and it should fix this issue nicely. Nice sword by the way  ;D

For a "noob" you actually did pretty well. Could use sharper coloring on the pupils and a more defined jaw line though, still looks like it goes a bit too far back her ears to me. :-X

Have you thought about coloring Sophia to the color palette applied in her sprite figure? I find it makes it easier. If you're having trouble selecting a color for her gloves then step back from the picture and ask yourself "What are normally the colors for leather gloves? Brown or black? and which one would look good on her?" Since Sophia's in that era, leather was only in earth tones. Black and different shades of brown were prevalent then.
