Hello Cancer,
To start with I'll say that you are a skilled artist. And they are some things about this painting I will comment about.
I'll tell you my issues 1st.
I see 4 things that need attention. 1st is the ear. I think it should be about haft the size that it is. Perhaps it is this way in real life. But as artist, we need to change things to make them more appealing. 2nd is the eye
ows. They should be darker. 3rd is the lips. perhaps a little lighter.
4th is the hair. It, I think, should have more detail. Maybe a little lightness and darkness here and there. To give a more real look. And perhaps a little more work with the lights and darks on the face.
Now with all that being said. I'll say some other things. The skin tones are outstanding. The white dress is outstanding. The background is also outstanding. And the pose is great. It is a nice painting. But I think with a few changes. And just a little more work. The painting could be framed and hung in a gallery. And it would be an outstanding painting.
Perfection is what drives an artist.
The inability to achieve perfection is what creates a work of art.
