err, okay, I'm gonna try my hand at this critique thing.
So, to start, I have to say I really really loves it! Because it's awesome, and you're awesome and I love you...err, okay back to unbiased critiquing.
The hair, it's absolutely stunning! It looks so real, I could run my fingers through it!
The skin is beautiful, the tones you picked are marvelous, as usual, however I do have a tiny thing to point out. I dunno if it was meant, or if that was a tad bit too much blur tool usage, but her lips/nose look...well blurry. Like they lack definition, opposed to say...her hair or her beautiful eyes. (Which I think you've done a great job with.
I think same thing goes with her throat and chest, too much blurring that kinda covered the details I somewhat see in there. I've never done this critique thing, so I'm not sure I can get my point through. But yeah, the only thing that might have needed a bit of work on the picture is the blurring thing.
Other than that, beautiful picture, as always.

That the nose lacks definition I agree with because I've pretty much had to do that without ref and I'm bad with noses, as I only took ref for the pose, not the shading or the lighting.
Jenn's skin being as light as it is, the lighting turned out soft which means that the shading did as well. Her chest being a large exposed surface it lacks definition because it's lit up as it is.
I don't quite see how her lips are blurry. Her teeth are undefined because that always makes drawings look uncanny really quickly, so i tend to try and avoid that.
Anyways, I don't blur. I picked this soft-light and my shading-technique resulted in this drawing, if the skin-tone and lighting is not to your liking that's unfortunate.
Also, I know I invite this because I turned on critique, but why did you not share this with me yesterday so I could have changed them before critique-ing it here on points you could have shared with me in person?

oh oh, I also slipped cause I didn't quite mean the lips, I meant that..err little crease(?) right above the lips, but you already explained that, so that's fine. I get what you meant with the lighting thing now, too. And it looks great

I didn't notice anything last night cause I was too excited about it. lol.
Anyway, I thought'd be nice to leave a critique and be the first, that's all
I still think it's awesome though, so thank you again :3

Awesome job. Can't wait to see more.
