I'm not a illustration/ concept artist, but what you have is delicate and visually pleasing.

I think that the area where the bow on her neck meets her chin/cheek seems to be either casting a dark shadow or pressing on her face.

[quote=Spirit]Thanks for all the suggestions. ^u^
It means a lot to me.

Does the nose look better..?[/quote]

It looks better in that the bridge is smoother, but the nostril thing is still kinda weird. I think the ( thing shouldn't go so high, and should stretch more horizontally instead.
Something like [url=http://i.imgur.com/0EhTW4B.jpg]this[/url] ... maybe get some more opinions, though. I'm starting to doubt myself on this.

I also noticed something else that I overlooked earlier. This is kinda minor, but eyelashes (especially of that size) would cast shadows on the face.

Does the nose look better..?

Wow, that looks really good! I like the overall effect of the drawing, and the coloring of the roses looks awesome. Good job on the eye and the lips, those look great. You also got a very nice satin effect on the clothing. Your improvement is also pretty impressive, this looks a lot better than your old drawing.

However, there are a few things that stood out to me.

I think the skin directly beneath the white cap thing should be a lot darker, especially along the right side of the face. It seems like you ignored the shadow that the cap would cast on the skin, which makes it look kinda floaty. Going along with this, the skin directly beneath the neckpiece should also be darker, and should follow the shape of the cloth more accurately. While you did show the shadow, it STILL doesn't look dark enough and, again, makes the cloth look like it's floating. However, if this is the effect that you're trying to achieve, ignore this.
The strap of the cap (bordering the face/neck) should also be darker imo.

The face is also really flat, which makes her face look really doll-like and fake. The smoothness isn't consistent with the shading of the eye, which is really detailed and quite realistic. I should try to add some more shading, especially along the cheekbones and the mouth. I would also personally make the area above the eye and beneath the brow darker.

The nose shading is actually incorrect ... I'm not sure how to describe it, but the nose bridge isn't usually that sharp-looking, and it doesn't really extend all the way to the bottom of the nose. Instead, the C-shaped thing above the nostril should extend to the tip of the nose instead of vaguely stretching upwards like yours does. I'm pretty sure this wasn't very helpful LOL, but look up some pictures of a nose and you'll see what I mean.

Again, the body shading looks flat. The muscles on the upper arm/shoulder don't have to be super prominent, but they should probably be more obvious than they are currently. Also, like someone else mentioned, the armpit looks weird. The arm on the right also needs to be improved.

I'm not sure if this was your intention, but her chest is really flat. Maybe consider changing that.

Sorry for writing a whole book ... hope this helps!

That IS a major improvement.
I also agree with @PoetryIsMeh too, it kinda draws attention to that area.
Other than that, them lines are looking fine. <3

(Oh and also, I guess it only applies to me but, the shoulder at the right looks a bit unstable. It may be from the cloth that it's being covered with, but it looks like the shoulder is a bit rounded)

Ofcourse I know it's still a work in progress and you're entitled to your own opinions, so feel free to do what you'd think that's best for it.

[quote=sadface3]What am I even seeing o.o.... Errr by the way common mistake that artists do is trying to take and put in too many realistic qualities in their drawing and that has killed, just killed otherwise great work.[/quote]

That's a ridiculous thing to say.

@PrettyRandom
I dont know what are we seeing?
