Hi. This portrait has the potential to be very good. You seem to have a good grasp of colours, as the colours in this painting go very well together. I also like your choice of skin colours. my favourite part of the painting is her ear, it looks really realistic:) However, there are some parts of the painting that could use some more attention.

1. View. Your portrait seems to be a mix of three-quarter view and side view. If it's a three-quarter view then we would see more of the right side her face, and if it is a side view, then we would not see quite so much of her right eye.

2. Her head has a nice shape and the size is OK, but all of her features (eyes, nose, mouth) seem to be conecntrated on one small area, giving her face a sorta squished look.
Her nose and mouth could benefit from being bigger and you could probably move her eye a bit further back. The eyes look great, btw.

3. Shading. There's no shading in this picture, so it's hard to get a sense of where the light is coming from and what her bone structure looks like. Does she have high cheek bones for instance?

I hope this helps:)

Here's a link to a tutorial that I've found very useful:
