Hi Jean,
It's getting there but the neck area is still wrong. I suggest you draw a cylinder on a piece of paper. Have the left side be in shadow and make the form gradually get lighter. Study the subtle value changes with this exercise.
The neck is a cylindrical form and has roundness to it. When I look at the neck you have painted it looks deflated and that is because you are overwoking every detail in the neck. The rise and fall of the muscles has to be more subtle so you won't get that sunk in look.
The angle of her 2nd finger is off as well, because the tip's angle does not coincide with the angle of the rest of the finder. If the tip points inwards then the nuckle has to come forward towards the viewer. Sort of what the 3rd finger does.
Hang in there, you know "Natasha" my dancer has been hanging in my room and I just now noticed that one of her breast has the wrong angle. So she has to be refixed as well. Once you notice a major error it comes back to haunt you everytime you see it. I don't know why as a painter your eye stops seeing that which is so obvious to just about everyone else and why on earth it takes so long for the artist to recognize the error.
