/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

My goal with this one here was trying to improve at colors.

>didnt put much effort into the background, so no need to critique it, i guess.
>Changed the haircolor, otherwise stayed really close to the reference image/ traced a bit
>all in all, for my current skill level, im kinda happy with the results. Still lots of stuff to improve at
>the hair sucks. Dont really know how i could tackle it best/ what i should do differently
>Everything looks rough (well... it is). Probably nice if you want to go for that painterly style, but how do i manage to make it smooth? (using krita)
>obviously, tried to work without those black outlines. (mostly)
>Fingers are fucked (didnt put much effort into it)

Any other advice to improve, or some flaws im lacking the knowledge to see/ name/ put my finger on it?
