Alright, since this wasa hair experiment, i'll only comment on that.

Pick a lighting source.

You have highlights ALL over the place and even some where she should have hair shadows. Like at the ends towards the inner area of her body.
From the top portion of her head, it looks like the lighting is coming from above and slightly from her right (our left)... but then the highlights at her neck and ends look like the lighting is directly from the front. Making things very unnatural looking to the viewer.

Pick a lighting source and stick to one for now. Once you've mastered one source, then you can throw in another or more. Just remember... if you do one lighting source, they do NOT counter each other out, they actually layer the highlights atop of each other.

Nice texture to the hair though .

And try to work in some deeper shading, it will look ten times better with a full light to dark spectrum of color used. 3nodding

Don't be afraid to go darker with the shading! Especially on hair, as it's from a dark to a light once it's become highlighted with a light source.

I agree with what Oni has to say about the lighting and shadowing, and the colors used and the shape of the hair is very nice.

Good job! heart
