I think this is beautiful! A great find on the ref photo too! I love what you did with the fabric of the dress.

I like the figure a lot, but I would indeed, change the background. I don't like the bright blue there and I would darken it with green. Maybe you can make the shapes in the background a bit more vague. Just try with softer pastels and see how much you can still cover. It all depends if the tooth of the paper (I don't know that paper myself) is filled up yet.

I like the fact that the whole is not too smooth and one is still able to see the strokes. It makes it alive.
