could anyone give me opinions on this piece please?

Recently, i've become more resilient towards improving and developing my skill. i really want to be able to get to a level where I could exhibit and sell my work part or full time. I've been inconsistent as an artist for various reasons but my current resilience is the result of my certainty and commitment i want to make towards my art. i was wondering if anyone could just please spare a few minutes to pass on advice catered to level i currently produce at.

it has been a while since i posted up on here and that's purely because i've been focusing on finding first-hand help with my work.

thank you in advancee.

Ok, first your anatomy is pretty good and shows some work, which is good to see.

The front of her hair the texture of the watercolor looks deliberate, and gives a great impression of hair, but toward the back of the head, just looks messy.

Same with the red wash over the body, the way it streaks does not look deliberate.

At a guess I would have to say that you finished this in a hurry. Looks like you had a concept, and just had to get it down as fast as possible. My primary suggestion would be to take more time.

Also the paper looks wrinkled in this, if so, you did not leave it taped to your board long enough. Waaaaaay back when I was watercolor painting I would leave things on the board for 48 hours, just to be sure, or paint on .....hmmmm....not remembering the name of the stuff, some kind of board so it would not wrinkle...damn if I can't remember the name of the stuff.
