Hey Fedodika, I really like this last painting, it got great character and colors! And the feathers is awesome. However I see some issues with it, so I did a quick paintover, hope you dont mind :-)
• Color: It has a bit of a magenta tone over the whole picture, I dont know if this was intentional (sometimes - like in yours - it works!) I did some color correction and also put some (small amounts of) oranges/yellows to give it some extra push colorwise.
• Form/shapes: Simplify the shapes and it will read better, especially in her hair, it is too much details and a bit to spiky and didnt have an overall shape. I gave her a bit of a diamond-shape for example, but this can be pushed even more. A great tool for simplifying is the mixer brush:
Also you want to show form, especially in the face, Her left half of the face is a big smudge of purple, but there should be bounce light that will emphasize the form of her face (with a hint of green).
• Values: It was a bit oversaturated, specially in the highlights, almost white, so I toned it back just a bit (it is still to bright in some areas).
• Anatomy: Her eyes seemed a bit off-centered, so i did draw some lines from the edge of her lips (they should align with her pupils). Overall i moved her eyes a bit to the right side of her face (our left). Added eyebrows and the rest of her lips, still with that sinister, crooked smile of hers.
Also to give it a bit more depth i blurred out the background, it had too harsh edges. now the girl is more in focus, you could probably push this even more.
I hope you get something out of this, it is a really nice painting, keep going you are on the right path!
