Nice job adding color with only a black and white original.

I do see what looks like a drawing error, to me, though. It seems as if the eye on our left is too high.

The vertical axis of the rest of the face is tilted left slightly, but the horizontal axis across the eyes has been painted to be almost perfectly horizontal. Moving the left eye down (and being sure the inner corners of the eyes still point toward each other) would fix that.

I'm working on a portrait of a young boy who is posed similarly. The axis of the face is almost vertical, but not quite, and I have to constantly fight the common tendency to make everything perfectly vertical and horizontal, especially the eyes.
