This is pretty so far! The main thing that sticks out to me is the eyes seem a little off balance, maybe select and scoot the one on the right a little down. If you don't already I reccomend flipping the canvas to give a little bit of a new perspective and help your eye see flaws you might've otherwise missed! Keep up the great work!

Looks hood so far! I think the biggest thing I’m seeing is the proportions of the shoulders is much to small, and they slump down a tad to strong. Shoulders go down due to the clavicle, but rose due to the ball and socket joint that allows the shoulder to move. I hope that this helps! Can’t wait to see you improve

oooh, this is already good as it is. Anatomy and structure seems to be good. Keypoints in the design are translated well into your painting. My only point for improvement is to be bolder with the lighting and shadows. Make shadows darker and sharper on the edges, and the highlights brighter. Really show the depth and contours of her face and chest. Dont be afraid of not being able to see the small details to sell the lighting better

Looking good already!
I agree with the other comments, maybe blend the skin a bit to make it look more smooth.
On the other hand i think some defined lines could help make this piece pop. For me it looks like you used some soft brushes with really soft edges for this piece, which makes everything look a bit blurry. I can recommend using brushes with hard outlines to define the shape of the face, the nostrils or the eyesockets for example. That'll give you a nice and interesting contrast between soft and defined brushstrokes which can make a piece pop out.
Oh and another advice for the hair, try and add some thin individual strands of hair, that'll make it look more natural and flowy.
But that's some nitpicking, all in all the piece is already looking good. I especially like the lighting of her hair on the forehead

I agree with sophiamsketches, a little blending could go a long way here, but it is a really beautiful portrait and I love the way you draw the hair 
if you want to experiment a little, I would suggest that you try slightly modifying the hue of the skin "shadows", to see if cooler or warmer shades create an effect you like. Also, playing with curves can be a very fun experiment and I do it every now and then to see if changing the overall values could help my drawing pop

This is amazing, the only thing I can suggest is in some areas where the contours are maybe blend the lines slightly so it’s not as harsh
