    Her face looks great, specially her nose (I'm not good with noses...,lol) and her expression is really well achieved with good proportions .

    The face and eyes have a lot of emotion and the composition is good too. The eyes really draw me in. I would also like to know what geosarray means by pushing the skin tones. I Think there is some room for refining your brush work, blending and adding some intermediary colors. Hm, maybe thats what he meant.

    Nice work. My advice would be to push your skin tones a bit more.
