wow,beautiful colours !
The use of watercolor technique for the gradients is great.
I think there's too much for the eye to focus on. The flower in her hair is the most colorful, the paint splatters have the most contrast, and the eye is the first thing most people recognize in a picture. Try focusing on one object, and force the viewer to see what you want next. Tone down the stuff you want to fade into the background; that'll create interest and make the viewer have to stick around to get the whole picture.
Most artists have difficulty with symmetry of the face. That's why it's so tempting to hide one eye behind something, but you have to learn to resist the urge. It seems lazy, especially while one eye looks great, such as in your painting. It's really difficult to make one eye look as good as the other, but you can do it.
It seems like I'm totally ripping apart your painting, huh?
Most obvious to the naked eye is that the artist has stayed true to the oriental culture by using kanji and iconographic symbols of Chinese and Japanese art (the ink brush.) What amazes me however is the amount of detail not gone into the linear art, but rather, the coloring, it's astounding to see a change in the common formula that most artists use, which is to make massively detailed line art, only to leave a more then underwealming color scheme due to fatigue and lack of remaining coffee (neither starbucks shops down the street could help either...I JUST WANT A NORMAL CUP OF COFFEE!!!
What the artist might want to consider however is avoid using colors in areas that might distract the viewer in unintended ways, the blue and pink are an example, as you see pink faster than the blue and thus are more focused on sections that are pink. This might not be a serious problem, but by balancing the importance to fit the color and vice versa, you can be that much closer to perfection!...Or at least, in my opinion.
In the end: an amazingly cultural color bomb of emotion and vibrant life. If the artist isn't getting paid for just considering to make art like this, than there is no justice in the world.
