-Style: When it comes to the overall structure of the artwork, it blows my mind. When viewed from a bit of a distance, or a smaller image size, it looks incredible. However, as the image is viewed at when it is at it's full size, that's where some minor problems pop up. Overall, the structure is incredible, but slightly rough areas take away from it.
-Originality: Not much to say in this area. Not many people do these kinds of artwork, but when they do, it stays similar to these styles, with different medias. Overall, originality is perfectly fine as an photographic reference, but as a whole, it's a bit too common in a general scale. This won't alter much, since it's still yours, and you did it in your own way.
-Technique: When it comes to the hair, it feels right, but it could've helped a bit to add sharp bright highlights on certain strands where it should've been. While I can see the shading, and it stands out well, the very top ends of the hair could have been brightened a bit more. But since the hair was really complete in terms of shading, I'll stand past it, since I don't really know for sure how bright the hair was in the image referenced.
As for the face, minor shading issues arrive, with a minor eye proportion error. When it comes to shading the face, the jawline shading that lay across the sides are a little too sharp. It would help to have a minor blend along the line to give it the depth it needs without feeling too strong.
Continuing, I look towards the center of the face as well, and it feels just a tad bit too flat. It would help to give the nose more depth along the sides by shading the outer edges where the cheekbones lay, to show the cheeks slightly sinking in towards the nose. Including so, the tip of the nose, should have been brightened higher than the cheeks, due to it being the closest to the light source that you attempted.
My last problem with the face would be the right eye. Its overall shape is a bit too thin as opposed to the other side, giving the feeling that she's squinting with that end, while leaving the other intact.
Now for the neck. It seems to be cut off sharp by the light, and while that's fine, it still has an uneven shading mark for the jaw. A little blending towards that area, and you should be just fine there.
Lastly, with the abdomen, it seems that it's missing just a bit of shading, and just a little bit of darkness would help that spot. Overall, your shading is fantastic on these artworks! All it needs is a little refinement.
-TL;DR: A very well done artwork of Selena Gomez, held back by multiple minor shading errors. As a whole, the structure is incredible, but as a detailed image, it's a bit off. I like it a lot, and I hope to see more soon, because you do a nice job on these. :^)
Overall Grade : 85 / 100

- I just read about you spilling your drink around the right eye. My apologies for not seeing that earlier. I still think it looks good, and you did a nice job masking that spill, because I didn't even notice.

I really like the hair, it has a really soft look to it. Also the hand in particular is excellent, and the lips. Can't tell where you spilled your drink so you must've done a good job covering it up. Nice work.

Where the spilt drink landed, was it right below the chin?
Anyway you have to look hard to notice any covered up drinks in this one!
You draw very nice! I like it.
