this looks pretty neat, I like the contrast of the somewhat rough looking hair against the rather smooth and refined features of her face. the subtle colours are very cool, too. what bothers me a little is the strand of hair next to her ear. or rather, not the strand itself, but its origin on the skin. I kind of feel like you should connect it a little better to the skin, and perhaps not make it too straight, as this straight horizontal sort of breaks up the curves of the image. But that's only a small nitpick, otherwise I really like this. Haha, makes me want to try figures again, now.
Love this just the way it is. The blending away of the shoulders with the white serves to emphasize the eyes and the hair . . . and even the lovely profile and the lines of her chin and neck.
Don't you love it when you see a face and think "OOOOH! I have to paint them!"
It's all about defiance.
Beautiful picture, you are extremely skilled <3
