Not the best quality picture but this is one of my recent paintings! It’s one I can’t personally see any issues with tbh so critique would be so helpful. It’s an oil paintings btw. Ty!!

Woah, first looking at this I thought it was a digital painting not an oil painting :0
So I see more critiques that are a matter of taste than critiques. :/ The thing is, is that a matter of taste is not a matter of fact. And it’s something that is a personal preference. So everything I’m about to say is gonna be about fundamentals and not personal taste c:
Ight so the first thing that stood out was the the subtlety. There’s isn’t much subtlety which made me assume it was a digital painting. It’s very very easy to sorta wanna SEE the details. You wanna SEE the shadows. The first spot I noticed was her forehead and the beginning of her hair. See how there’s forehead skin tones then immediately hair? There needs to be a few steps of contrast leading up to the hair. (My first portrait I just posted I actually made this same mistake). And there’s also a lot of subtlety in hair. There’s loose hairs, flyaways and parts that fade into the shadows of the neck. The hair mainly looks like one piece.
So for now I would just focus on that c: this is really good and I would commend you cause portraits are extremely difficult to paint! So good job and keep painting!

•I love how smooth your color work is!! Also kudos on the downward pointing eyelashes, I always struggle with that... crit is tricky, because there isn’t anything particularly “incorrect” or off! Personally, I would have liked to see more organic hair forms, so smaller curls and more imperfect flyaways, but that’s more of a personal taste thing than anything!

•This is beautiful! One thing I would suggest is where the flowers sit on her face to maybe add some more shading as the flower would cause some on her face this will also allow the flower and her face to stand out because right now they kinda blend together

•I love your colors and shading! 
For the critique there is couple of things. The first thing I noticed is that there is very little depth in the backgroud. Maybe you could add more details to the flowers that are in focus? Or simplify the ones that are in the back? You should spend more time on flowers in hair. They clash with how defined hair looks.
Another thing is, the ear is missing a horizontal part - antihelix. Since you have a pretty realistic style it would be nice to include that for anatomic correctness.
I'm also a little confused about the hairstyle. Is this some sort of loose braids or is it hanging loose? It would help with clarity if you pushed in one or the other direction!
That being said, the image left a good impression and I'm curious about the other stuff you made. I wish I was this good with skintones!

I love this I can't really say any critique because I love it as it is! 
the anatomy is good! The colors are so nice and warm but the blue is nice and cool to contrast it! I love this truly~ your paintings are stunning
