Great work, friend! ^^
You see, I'm addicted to colorful drawings and I'd say that this one is my favorite piece of yours (at least, for now xD). I mean... I simply love how the colors are bright and give this nice contrast to the piece. Simply love it! xD

This is a nice piece. The colors are tastefully chosen, and the anatomy is just detailed enough to show the beauty of the woman, but simple enough to be abstract. The composition, posture, high contrast, and expression are all highlights of this piece. On the other hand, the hair is a bit off, and the squiggles in the background are distracting. The hair needs a bit of refinement, with emphasis on consistent highlights and shadows. It is far to light in many areas, taking away from the accuracy of the face. You can see a few strands here and there, but I think you should really zoom in and focus on getting the hair to match the "somewhat realistic/somewhat abstract" style of the face. It is creating a sense of inconsistency. I am also clueless as to why there is a big blue smudge in the corner? It would be excellent if this was her other shoulder.
In summary: clarify the hair (adding highlights and shadows where necessary, keeping the color consistent), remove the squiggles (maybe you can replace them with a city scene to keep it simple but not too distracting), and fix the smudge (completing her other shoulder is a must, because right now the smudge really distracts the eye and gives the piece an inconsistent, incomplete feeling). Besides that it's excellent!

Hiyaa! Thanks for the critique, you are right about that smudge, its supposed to be shoulders haha. I was focusing too much on face that I didnt pay much attention to these things, but yes you are right I need to put more effort and complete other aspects of it as well. Thank you for pointing out the areas Im lacking in, I will put more effort into them. :3

so, i like the anatomy and the expression is really strong it looks really nice
the thing i have to critique is the shading and the colors. you took fully saturated cyan and magenta, which is not a good color composition since they both look too strong to the eye.
you could've gone for a more desaturated magenta for the skin. it also looks like you shaded with black, but i'm not sure, you should shade with a different color depending on the lightning and the tone of the piece. like a purpleish red for example.
there are also things like value, line dependency and lighting to think about.
but the lighting, even if the blending looks harsh, is pretty spot on.
curious to see what you'll do in the future
keep on drawing

Thank you so much. I purposely chose saturated colors, it was a tiny experiment, more like i was just playing around with colors XD But yes you are right, I will incorporate desaturated magenta and see how it ends up :3 And Yesss i will keepon drawing >w<

The eyes and the smile are wonderful, as if she (you!) are up to something, there is a hidden joke, or you have a delightful secret. The colors really pop!
