Love the expression. The hair and eyes look amazing.
My only suggestion is try to gradually blend the shadows (especially on the cheeks to match how it looks on her forehead).
Otherwise awesome job .

Right off the bat, this is a very well done piece. It's simple and yet so well executed. I completely envy you on how well you got the model's hair texture (I'm still figuring that out for both traditional and digital works myself). I also love the clever colors of your light sources, it definitely adds to the ambiguity (and androgyny, perhaps?) of the model. Your shading and depth of the model's face and collar bone is very on point, especially for the nose. 

Although this practice work is almost flawless, I suppose the only issues with the piece is the lips, the ears and the lighting, of course. Firstly, the lips should have more detail in terms of texture and lighting, as typical as it is for portraits. Secondly, although this is more of my personal preference (as people do have different ear shapes and sizes), the ears are a bit too big and asymmetrical for a front profile and therefore do seem a bit distracting. Plus, there could be more lighting on the right ear similar to how you portrayed the left ear. And lastly, you could have played with the light source a little bit more (similar to the nose and eyelids), it would make the model's features look not as dark and dull.

Allinall, you did very well for a practice run. Just keep at it and you will only improve with time.

This is very good, but it's kind of hard to focus on the hair or other features with the heavy shading.

First of all, what attracted me to this picture the most is the unique lighting. I can see that you tried to give the highlights two different tints, a pink tint and a blue tint. With two colors apparent, it feels like there are two sources of light in this portrait. I believe the light is coming from behind the head given the heavy amounts of shading around the facial features.

Also, I do like how you went with texture. The skin texture could be better, as in skin has smoother texture than the one you went with. Though, you could perhaps be trying to emulate strokes of a paintbrush with this texture, which is alright in that case as traditional textures do make digital drawings seem more natural. The texture on the hair, though, is perfect and actually uses lighting to show that it is separate hair strands and not just a blob or a shape on the head.

If there is anything I could have done to this picture to make it better, it would be trying the gradient effect with the background as well. You have two colors on the figure, but only one color in the background. I can understand how you want the figure to be the emphasis of the picture, but the amount of color in the figure makes the background bland in comparison. It's always nice to play around with colors to see what fits you best in color theory.

Overall, the figure in this picture is very well drawn with attention to detail and a little experimentation with lighting and color, which certainly makes this portrait stand out among others.

Realistic. This is one of the most realistic drawings I've seen apart from professionals. 10/10

Two effects grabbed me. The first was her expression, which seemed to be gloomy and made me wonder what exactly was "ambiguous" here; and the second was your choice of colors for shadow.What made you choose violet?
