A very nice drawing. You are obviously getting more comfortable indoing the subtle shading on the face as the shading and the highlights are very well done.
The hair is done well but her haircut looks a little odd. Not sure wht is wrong but perhaps Alli should go to a different stylist next time, lol. Her nose seems a little large for the rest of her face but it is well within normal proportions.
The use of blue for the background and cowboy hat works very well in setting off her features.
My favorite part? Her lips. This is the best mouth I have seen you do yet. Usually, you are a little heavy handed with the color and shading (which is not unusual in pastels. Nature of the medium), but the shading and details on these lips is positively delicate. Wow!
Concerns? 1) Her left eye is too far to the right. Her eye should be about a half eye width closer to the other for correct proportions. 2) Her right eye is slightly too high. If you were to draw a line between the two eyes and a line where the mouth lies, you would see that the line created by the eyes is not parallel to the line created by the lips. Why am I saying that the eye is off and not the mouth? Well, because the lips are correct as compared to the nose and the angle of the face. 3) The comboy hat is at wrong angle. It is either out of perspective or about to slide off her head.
I also want to tell you that you are doing a fantastic job. Even if it sometimes sounds like i am being harsh and nitpicky, realize that you have improve to the point where I have to point out minor details for you to continue to improve. In the early days, I could make wide, swweping generalizations for you to improve. Not any longer. You are good enough it is important for me to be critical to help you polish your work.
Excellent work!

Firstly,thanks for the compliments! I was trying to be a little more subtle with the colours in this piece,as she has such pale delicate colouring..She also did not have as much make up on as some,her lips were tinted rather than block red and lined. Im glad you liked the blue background,seemed to suit her! The hat,heh,yeah, I knew the perspective was a little off on that.Something to work on there. Im kinda glad you mentioned the hair,as when I was drawing her,I kept looking at it thinking it looked odd! That is actually as it looks.I think maybe some of it has got caught in her hat or something,as it jut looks out of place almost...? I think I made her nose a little larger than it is,but shape wise thats it. Yep, the eyes arent quite in line,that would be me rushing and forgetting to reference with the lines you drew.Sorry! As for you being critical,keep going,please! I get so much out of yr critisism and it helps a lot. I try to follow all the guidelines you have shown me,and every time something new is pointed out it gives me something more to learn!
