Mai's pastel
Mai, that is a wonderful beginning! I agree that the neck muscles need to be softened. Squint when you look at your resource material, live or a photo. You will be able to see the tonal relationships better, then edit out those elements that are not needed to define the area. A blue ribbon tied around her hair breaking above the headboard would give a needed color accent and relate to the lovely blues in the whites. It would also serve to bring more attention to the head. Your background should generally have a picture plane, going from light to dark. Check out the many wonderful artists on this site and see how they paint their backgrounds.
