When I first saw this I thought my daughter had posed for it as it looks just like her... scary.
Excellent work!

Beautiful work - one of your best I think.
The anatomy is excellent, the pose is perfect and the skin tones look magnificent. Plus that is an exceptional midrift - just the right subtle suggestion of the underlying muscles.
Excellent

It's been a while since I commented on your stuff, but I think my sentiments remain mostly unchanged.
The drawing is solid, but I think your colors in photoshop need some development. The contrast on the skin tones is really intense, which would work if the colors were more saturated. However, the black is just black, it has no temperature or intensity. The underside of the chin is effective in this regard as it's a red-brown and looks alive rather than a dead gray. Typically I wouldn't go more than 75% dark on a realistic Caucasian skin tone, but it's possible to exaggerate this if you keep temperature and intensity in mind.
This one is an improvement in terms of the saturation of the midtones, however. It seems like if the dodge and burn tools were used, they were used less. This was an issue in past work because it robs you of control of the color you're using, and often kills the saturation.
My final critique is in the use of the smudge tool. This is really killing the definition of the form, as not only does it not really create a smooth blend but the edges of the internal shapes become irregular and messy, rather than defined and controlled.
These are never problems in your traditional pieces because you are forced to deal with directly applied color rather than trying to have a generally flawed computer program do the work. It takes more work doing it manually, but no tool can bypass this.
