i tried to improve the face and neck a bit, i started w adding the color of the background so i can understand the color scheme better and so she doesnt look too out of place, and i tried my best to keep the original shapes u used but i rushed this quite a bit so 😭
i added more contrasnt and shapes to make the lighting clearer on the face but i made her neck/chest area more unified so it doesnt look too out of place and over all simplified the shapes of her face
so i made the shading a warmer color to suit her skin tone more and to make it a bit less muddy, and i forgot to add highlights tbh but its okay its simpler this way
