You could use more hard-edged brushes on the focal points in your drawing.If you want to emphasize the face and the shoulder, i'd suggest to get some hard edged brush and go madly with the details.
Always work at 25-30% zoom so that you wouldnt lose the overall feel of the thing you are drawing.Then switch to 60% zoom when it comes to those tiny details.Well, at least thats what i do , i even zoom 100%-150% while detailing some parts but that consumes a lot of time and i should also get rid of that asap.
I liked the colors and contrast.

Hello there, as requested I shall proceed with my critique, I hope you will find it useful.

Firstly I would like to start off with, I love the use of colours, they are cool yet blend nicely with another. The chest piece/bra of sorts the turquoise colouring is somewhat distracting, I'm not certain if that was the intention on your behalf though it does take away from the face somewhat as I believe being a portrait, the face would be the focal point (Believe me I know all about portraits). To fix this, simply choose a colour which isn't quite as bright and conflicting as the other more natural earthen colours.

You also display the knowledge of contrast, this is important to give life to your picture, make sure to understand your light sources well and know that light reflecting from one object reflect to others. (Example: The sun is shining upon you, your blue blouse is reflecting the light through your blouse onto your skin, your skin tones will change colour to adjust for the alteration to the light source).

I look upon the Shoulder pads/Pauldrons and wonder if your original intention was for them to be made from a metallic alloy or were they to be of something else, like a Leather of such.

If your Pauldrons were indeed intended to be metallic was the design within the Pauldron made from a Metallic interlay such as Copper or brass, or was it infact something painted to the Pauldrons. These are elements you need to take into consideration for the two would have extremely different outcomes and if they were made from leather then your lighting would be wrong and I would suggest viewing some photographic reference to aid you.

Lastly the only other area I feel improvement could be made is the hair, now unless you were particular about it expressing an artist you are familiar with style or perhaps a genre such as Japanese Cartoons then by all means continue. If however you were attempting a more realistic a more natural style you would need to correct it quite a bit.

To me currently it looks almost she had a bad day with a tub of gel and a can of hairspray. very stolic, very stiff, quite unnatural. In order to fix this, I suggest looking for a point of origin in where the hair parts and grows out from and then consider the factors such as gravity and wind, which direction would the hair flow and how would the environmental factors alter this, also I suggest again using Photographic reference, it's very important nothing is more accurate then the real thing.

Anyhow that's all I can think of at the moment, if you have anymore questions feel free to send me a note or email, good luck.
