I got tired and lost focus, I should walked away and come back a different time, any feedback is appreciated, I'm still learning.

Awesome work @colormeant. I love the overall softness to the painting. I think because of the overall soft feel, the harder edges in the lip area (namely where the two lips meet) stand out a bit. I think softening this area just a bit in order to leave the harder edges for the eyes (the focal area) would help to service the piece a bit more.
Additionally, the ear just feels a tad bit small. Obviously there is going to be some size variation, but a general rule of thumb measurement is that the area where the ear attaches to the head should be in line with the eyeline. For your image, the ear just feels a bit too far under that line.
Hope this helps, and keep up the good work!
great work mate,i love the way this has turned out .... keep creating more of the good work ....i guess a lil more wrinkles on the clothes over the head would have made it even awesome you know not acttually wrinkes but a lil texture or color graditient kinda stuff. but overall its too good to be judged by me..

Thank you for the feedback, I may need to add more texture to the scarf, I afraid of overdoing though!

We're all always still learning ;) Nice piece, I like the soft look. I'm not sure the dark background works as well with the soft lighting though, I feel like it needs some variation or lighter more variation. I'm probably wrong, but I think the dark background would suit harder shadow edges to accentuate the contrast.
Her ear is also maybe a bit bright, but it's really nice overall :)
