Beautiful blend of sharp precise lines with watercolor gradients.
Loved the palette choice and the play of light and dark of blues and reds (pinks).

The object is depicted in a way that evokes emotion, inviting us to focus on the eyes and try to see what's reflected in them.
I like how the minimal shading on her face with mostly bright surface, maybe suggesting a light shining brightly at her?

I got a sense that the nose and eyes were a bit large for her face, it lends the drawing a sense of perspective, something like a "fish eye" view with a very focused center and diminishing sharpness towards the edges. With the shoulders understated and hunched it seems as if she's leaning forward.

The eyes seem a bit too open, somewhat unnaturally. Having the lower lid much lower than the iris is slightly troubling and contrasts with the natural beauty otherwise prevalent in the drawing.

I found the image and beautifully haunting, remarkable work !
