So I won't have time to finish this tonight, but I'd like some critique on it. It's for a college application portfolio so be as harsh as you want, I need it.

It's like 180 layers so far? I don't know, I've merged a few.

Please note:
- The eyes, eyebrows, hair and jacket aren't finished
- Neither is the background.

 
showstopper!

The notrils look a little weird, but everything else is gorgeous.

The teeth aren't finished either. Or is it supposed to look like that?

Everything flows! The skin is flawless.

Very eyecatching, although I do suggest toning some of the colors down a bit (lips and eyes). I like the smooth skin, but at some parts it looks like you used the contract tool too much.

I LOVE how the eyes and lips "pop." [:

I do have some constructive criticism though;
- There's a darker part of the lips (around the middle) that should be blended into the lighter colors better.
- The skin color looks a bit silver to me (it might just be me) and should be toned into a more peach or brownish color.
- Either the right nostril has to be enlarged and rounded or the left nostril has to be made smaller and flatten a bit, because they don't quite "match each other."
- Part of the eyelashes don't quite touch the eye enough (mostly around the inside edges)
- Don't forget the ears XD

On the right side, the hair's a bit lumpy. Care to explain why, because I know you didn't do that on accident. Don't take this comment the wrong way, I just wanted to understand that side of the hair :]

Just a suggestion:
I don't know if it would, but the hair might look better if it was a little longer to the neck, curling out at the ends?

Then again, I'm not proffessional like you. I just wanted to tell you a common person's view on this.

Thanks for the feedback! And it wasn't supposed to be realistic, hence the silvery color

Is the area around the eyes (orange-yellow part) completely done with gradients?

Perhaps some shading with different layers (in a similar manner to the rest of the skin) with the same orange-yellow gradient overlay would work better. That way, there could be more depth to the eyes.

Don't know if that made much sense.

Anyway, great job.
