First of all, it looks great! 3/4 portraits usually are the most difficult and you did a good job. I haven't worked that much with water colours, but a thing that catches my eye is that the washes aren't done that clean, which is probably why there are these lines where the colours haven't properly bled into each other. From what I remember, you either have to wait until the layers are fully dried up or you have to add the transitioning colour, while the paper is still wet. It would be helpful to try it out on a seperate piece of paper. Also, never forget to add the light of life to the eyes. This makes the person look more alive, as the name says :) That is all I can see right now. I hope this might help. Cheers!

This piece has a great mood and you seem to have a good grasp on what colors to use for the skin! If I could suggest anything: practice soft edges. With watercolor you have to work quick to get a soft edge, blending it out with your brush instead of letting it dry with the natural watercolor outlines. There's countless resources on youtube if you search the term "watercolor soft edges" or look in popular watercolor books. And, just a smaller note, the part of the hair you left white threatens to distract from the true focal point of the face. Knocking that back with a wash of the hair color seems like it would do the trick! Great job so far, I imagine we'll be seeing great things from you in the future!

Man o man these look good. The vibrancy of colour is an absolute delight
