Again, nice job on the face. Your folds are pretty strong, and you did a nice job creating an abstract background so she's not just alone on a field of white.

One thing you do that I think is a little detrimental to your style right now are those really quick, sharp, jagged lines.  You have some in the knees, the forearm, the fingers and the ankles as well as a few spots on the clothing.  While there's no WRONG way to do a style, right now those angles don't seem to be doing much to tell me about who she is.  They sort of distract the eye, and sometimes make your lines feel a little less confident.  This isn't to say Don't Do That!  But instead, just think about WHY you're making certain lines or strokes, and whether they'll help your character.  Often times sharp angled lines will make a character read more masculine, or hardened, and neither of which seem to be present in this woman.  Also, keep pushing your hand and feet anatomy.  You seem to get where all the pieces go, and from here it's just smoothing out your process to make your anatomy appear more confident.  Some of this is in the shading, which doesn't really do much right now to PUSH the form and shape of the feet.

Nice job!  I keep looking back at her eyes, and that quiver of her lip and wondering what she's thinking.

Nice that one can pour his/her soul into art. Nicely done!
I like that eerie morning feeling in the picture. The character looks nice too.

I feel the same. Sometimes I remember the emotion that I had during painting and the art-piece becomes a bit more special that way.

Oh really?? Hehe, that's cool!
