Hi! Firstly - this piece is beautifully done (anatomy, colour, shading....all that jazz ). The colour combinations are simple yet elegant, and I like the fact that you've added pink tinges to her hair, as well! I suggest working on drawing the ear, though. A little development on the shape goes a long way! Overall - the result is beautiful! Good job!

I really like this piece, nice clear cut, defined lines.

Great use of limited colours and a great relationship between the tan, slight yellow, pink and blue.

Having the eye green offsets the composition very nicely, considering you have done this with coloured pencil the shading and blending is great.

I would love to see you come back and re do this in a month or so, I love watching progression.

Clear cut and bold spaces aren't really my area so I learn by observing the work of others in this respect.

Line six : Llama flying your way! ( Catch! )

This is a great start! The color you are using are perfect together! Pink and Tan remind me of the beach and a nice warm sunny day!
I'm not a professional by any means when it comes to colored pencils. I'm not sure how many colored pencils you have - but adding different shads of the same tone add demention to her. Especially if you lay it on light at first and go harder or darker over top.
It looks like you have the light source coming from an angle - I think if you add more definition to the shadows and tones to her skin it will make the image less 'flate' looking and create more interesting image over all. Since you said your continuing - keep going! Add a varity of different colors of the same family to her shirt too and her skin tones to add some interest to the image. You could even add something to the background as well. Just a suggestion. You are doing awesome!! Keep it up!

Nice technique! I really like her eyes ~ I think however that a few things are a bit out of place - as in, slightly off, not enough for it to be a big issue on its own but because alot of elements are like that as a whole the picture seems less controlled. For instance, the nose's angle is slightly off perspective-wise, one of the eyes is too high/low compared to the other, the ear is a bit too high... Nothing dramatic, but as i said the more there're small problems the less impactful a piece is
I also think that your line is a bit too trembly/lacks contrast - a sketchy style can be very refreshing but in this case the lines are thin and gray, which takes away the nice colors you used for the rest of the portrait. A good test is to see if your pic still looks good without the lineart (provided you use layers). In this case, I think you hesitated a bit between having a drawing that relies purely on flat colors/line and a painting that is sculpted out of bold shapes.
So, overall I think the picture looses a bit of impact because of the lineart/color problem and the small anatomy problems. However, you do have a good grasp on portraits and I really like her expression/the atmosphere this piece gives out.
