Hi, Julie,
On a quick fly-by, I'd say this is looking quite good but in order to get an assessment of the values you're going to need to give this a spray of retouch varnish. The darks (especially in the hair, where you've probably used earth colors) have "sunken in", or become matte or dull, and the retouch varnish will restore those. That's temporary, and eventually only a final varnish will hold those values for you. Wait a while, though, before doing a final, otherwise you risk a cracked varnish surface because the paint will dry more slowly than the varnish. How long to wait is open to lots of debate. If you painted very thin, a short time (days or weeks); very thickly, much longer (months).
