The detail is lovely and the watercolour paper gives it a nice underneath texture, particularly on the background.

My critique though would be that her face seems a little, I don't know, odd given the perspective. It's clear from the shape and angle of her nose, mouth and eyes that she's supposed to have her chin up so that we're looking at her face from slightly below, but her forehead looks a little long for that angle. That should be really easy to rectify though.

I know it looks that way, but believe me, she just has a big forehead, lol. If you want I can post the photo reference in scraps for you to compare.

Sure, if that's the case then it all works fine. I assumed it was a perspective thing at first.

There you go. Her forehead might still be a *little* too long I guess. It's a little hard to tell sometimes, but it looked about right to me :)

Actually, now that you've showed me the photo you've not done a bad job on the forehead. The angle still seems a little off somehow, but I can't put my finger on quite why.

Good stuff, although you could soft teh features and the borders a bit. Is she your own character?

She is indeed. The texture of the watercolour paper would probably get in the way of any softening. What border are you referring to?

part of it might be that I changed the angle the face is being held at. In the photo she's looking more straight on, and in the image she is looking more to her left (picture's right)

This is great. Lovely vibrant colours and intricacy in the patterns.
