Gorgeous. I love the play of the matte fills on the body versus the more roundly rendered hands and head. The composition is generally very good, but I do feel a little tension because of the aforementioned rendering choice. The pose and discontinuity of the face to the body wants me to center my looking on the head-body-void axis, but the discontinuity of the hands wants me to look to the left. Not a super big deal, but the visual weight of the piece ends up a little imbalanced. I wonder if a little something on the boots or flat hands would resolve that, although it would he a great shame to lose that lovely rendering of the hands - that thumb and forefinger have such delightful shape.

Might even work with a little shadow play on the hose on the order of what you've got going on on the dress?

The detail of the hands and flatness of the body/legs is what I like most about the piece. It does make me question how deliberate that choice was. The high contrast on the cheek bone versus the relatively softer highlights on the hands (and the very subtle value changes on the black shirt) appear as three distinct moments, which to me contributes to the discontinuity the most. It feels like a first draft at a really solid idea. I think 5 or 6 more iterations of this concept will produce some amazing pieces. What a phenomenal start though.

There's something refreshing about an artistically stylized painting like this. When I go by a gallery, I often stop and look at these the longest over the more pretentious pieces.

This is legit. I love the facial expression - could be viewed in a lot of ways.

Looks like Margarita Terekhova

Great job. The stroke coming from the lower lip kinda bugs me.

The shading being only on the face creates a nice effect.
