Hi Sophie,

A full story behind that face. It makes one stop to wonder what thoughts are being processed. The eyes look like they might be crying, but then the mouth is smiling. Intriguing.

Well, done - nice skin tones, good detail.

But since you put it in the critique section, I have one observation.
The top half of the face seems to appear flatter (less dimensional feel) than the bottom half. I think the main issue is less shadow there on the side of the face. Squint, and I think you will see what I mean. You might want to kick up the contrast, especially near the bridge of the nose.
