Hi Lisa--
This is a beautiful piece, and you've done an amazing job on that quilted jacket, I love it!

You're in critiques, though... so here are some little nitpicky things that catch my eye:
- Her eye on our left seems stretched towards the outer corner, and isn't turning as it moves away from us
- Her near fingertips are reading below the nail as somewhat flattened? It could be that they are pressing into the arm there, but somehow they appear to be resting lightly on the fabric...
- The far wrist/hand reads a bit thick/boxlike to me?
- the angle of her mouth line and the bottom of her nose is different from the line of her eyes (which may just be the skew of her face, if her features are not symetrical)

Of course, the color question is difficult to address since it is so monitor specific... But I think you've done a nice job on keeping her skin tones away from the orange cast and generally her skin tones are very believable. I especially like the skin tones on her neck... her face seems cooler (than the neck) --maybe a little much cooler on the lower half of the face?... but that could just be my monitor so take that with a grain of salt!
