First off, I want to say that I LOVE this piece. Your color scheme is really well thought out, your use of the complementary colors between her hair and her hood and eyes really stand out to me. I love how you use the purples and pinks to emphasize her figure and you use color well to draw your eyes around the painting. Her expression gives off a "badass" smerk and I feel like I can really tell what kind of character she is. In other words she is not bland, she has a personality and I see that especially in her eyes and lips. I really love how you gave the illusion that her eyes glow by using that pink color shining off of her blue eyes and the way that you shaded her eyes give them a rounded feel which I personally find difficult to achieve! Next I really like that you blurred out her scarf trail to reduce emphasis and the blur gives a sense of depth. Because of your blur (and gradient for that mater) your painting flows really well. My eyes are drawn to her face, then to the crystal and then follows her scarf trail back up to her face. I feel that if the scarf had not been blurred your painting would have been off balance. So great job!
As for suggestions my biggest comment on your painting would be your shading. Seemingly your only light source should be the crystal around her neck, but the way you shaded the top of her hair and the top of her head it gives the illusion that there is another light source (if not a feint one) above her. I say this because of the shiny's in her hair and the light reflecting off the top of her hood. I think that a way to potentially fix this is to focus on the shape of the hood. You made the hood triangular around her head, perhaps round the hood or the shading more to her hood does not look so flat. The other thing that I notice is that her hair that is by her cheeks confuse me a little. I cannot tell if they sit/wrap around her cheeks or if they are meant to be coming off of the cheeks. Depending on which one you were trying to make, the shadings would be different, but if they wrapped around her cheeks the shading is good.
All in all your work is really well done! I definitely think that if you focus on your shading a bit more your art will get better and better! The shading is the only reason why I did not rate your technique 5. Something that helps me out a lot with shading is getting a literal object and shine lights on it (like a foam head you can get from hobby lobby). I hope to see more of your oc in future pictures! maybe a backstory??? I can't wait to see more!
