I love the detail you've added here! She looks very lifelike. You did a fantastic job matching the detail from the photo to your drawing. I think you are amazing with realism. You've even incorporated the light and where it falls (and it makes sense!) on the woman. I think you should be proud of this work.
There are some anatomical fixes to be made however. The eye is a bit too low and the lower eyelid should be moved up a bit. Also the line from the cheekbone to the jaw makes her face look gaunt. Try rounding the line more. (also try moving up the chin) I think you set the lips a little too close to the chin (which also means you need to move up the nose some as well). One last point: pay attention to the shading on the nose. While the bridge is suppose to be lighter than the left side of the nose, you made it almost the same shade.
This is a beautiful portait, keep up the lovely work and I hope you are successful in the future!
There are a couple of areas which I think could use improvement. The area above her mouth is rather too sharply defined. It emphasizes the distance from the nose to the lips, making it seem a trifle too long. Likewise, the eyebrow could be softened over-all with perhaps a few defined hairs. Lastly, her eye itself. The shading and highlight on the iris is very well done. However, I think that the skin surrounding the eye - both above and below - are entirely too smooth. It could use some texturing. Try this tutorial [link] by Lianne-Issa .
My impression of this piece is quite favorable. I think you've done a marvelous job capturing a truly Mysterious Lady.
