This portrait is very beautifully done. However, it has one glaring flaw that ruins it for me personally: the cheekbones and nose are made so prominent that they distort the face and overpower the entire drawing. The rest of the the piece is quite beautiful: the hair is realistic and flowing, the the rest of the shading is skillful, the flower is gorgeous, and the position of the model is intriguing. All of these details are lost when I see the awkwardness of the nose and cheekbones. I don't say this to be rude; I genuinely think you are an amazing artist. Still, you may benefit from paying more attention to the shape and proportions of what you draw.
