I am really curious as to why you chose, it seems to work from a photograph rather than life. You appear to be an attractive young woman and a great subject. One of the best ways to distinguish yourself as a portrait artist is to be able to paint the same portrait from life as you would from a photograph. To many aspiring portrait artists are taking this easy route of copying photographs, rendering all their work and styles quite similar.
Marina Dieul , first did a self portrait in charcoal, then in color.
I would suggest you avail yourself of more figurative and portrait classes from life, and workshops or ateliers. I would first concentrate on form, and only in black and white until you have mastered it, then go on to color.
I do think your signature is a bit overwhelming.
