Hi Marilyn
well its very lovely
I love how you did this
it is beautifully crafted
but since you asked for a critique
it does have an oddity with perspective I think
The left side of her face (facing her) looks to be at an angle profile view but the right side seems to be straight on facing
its an interesting effect regardless
I am not quite sure how or why or even what you must do
but it seems to be a perspective thing ..maybe lines to a point (like this [link] ) or light and shadow
but it has perceptual illusion properties
I think
A little like this [link]
Regardless its wonderful I couldn't create what you have done
and I only say cause you asked

Hi DJ,
Thank you for your critiquing of Keria....I really do appreciate it and take into consideration what advice people give me and use it for my advantage for future referrences. So please don't apologise okay? I want people to show me where I'm going wrong so that I will improve as I go along in my drawings. In viewing this...I see more flaws in this portrait than you mentioned here. Too darn bad that I overlooked them too, otherwise I would corrected them. Oh well....it's an okay portrait....but better luck next time.

Oh well actually I am out of my depth on what advice to best give you to help but I think it falls into those to areas..the style everything else is so beautifully crafted its just a perspective thing I think..light shadow and perhaps those disappearing point lines to the infinite for perspectives..
I think this is why the ball base type thing like this for faces [link]
to draw things so you got those base lines in place to then mask over your detail
I guess too as time goes on you map that without even knowing your doing it but at the start you need to create art like house
put the framework in then do your rendering
this case the render is wonderful but the frame works a little out
This coming from someone who draws stick people and finds them a chore
