Thank you for your comments...it really helps to read what others see that I might miss. I am still looking at her eye and trying to figure what is wrong. If I post the photo maybe then someone can tell me definitely. Also, you'll see how her shoulders look.

Lon, as always, thank you for your comments! As for the underpainting...I liked doing it this way for a commissioned portrait. You get your drawing and tones out of the way so then you can concentrate on color, temperature etc. For whatever reason, my skin colors seem more life-like on this one vs. some others. It is just a different approach. It is definitely more time consuming to do a complete underpainting but I think it was worth it.
