Beforehand, I'm getting the feeling you have been staring at this for awhile now and you can't really see the image anymore(I suffer from this badly.) I know this is for Shy's class so I don't know what your time restraints are, but maybe take a day away from it to let your mind rest, it normally helps me.
Now to the crit~
The big thing wrong, is the arms. The shoulders are to broad, I know the jacket type has wide shoulders but even still they are just to wide. The arm on the right seems to have a bicep the size of her forearm and the jacket lays on it oddly.
The second main problem is the concept. I think you've pushed this image around so many times you strayed from your original idea too much and lost it(also something I suffer from.) You went from a punk/rock chick to a rougher female Fonz and then mixed them, getting this weird early 90s feeling chick. I think you should push your original punk/rock idea back into the piece! I gave her a head tattoo with brow piercing to push it a bit more, you can do this too or come up with something else. Just get your concept back!
After those two problems it's just small things here and there.
I am a beginner so take my advice with a grain of salt.
I like what you have so far. I hope this was helpful and didn't come off as negative!

- Her collar's far side lines up with her jaw.
- Her lips are to dark, if she has lip's stick on their fine but will need some strong highlights since lipstick is glossy.
- The pants rip and fray in the thighs then meld into good condition below the knee, also her belt buckle is off.
