I would say its Laetitia Casta

The hair looks too soft, I don't think
that Airbrush is the best tool for hair

JuRrAsStOiL: Yep, it's Laetitia Casta =)
And yes, I used a reference for this picture.. hair is kinda diffucult to draw with airbrush(I noticed that..).. duh..

In the right corner of the lips are some issues(think, maybe I should fix those..).
Maybe in tomorrow I get this one finished =P

It looks traced.

The reason it looks traced, regardless of whether or not it actually was, is because of a discrepancy between the overall image and the elements that have been used to render it. The technique is sloppy and directionless, which makes me suspect that the artist probably isn't developed enough to get a such an accurate overall likeness without tracing.

Even if its not traced, its still a copy of someone else's photo . . . unless the artist knows the model personally.

Apologies if this seems harsh. You might be new to art, and just learning . . . but this is the wrong end of the problem to start on.
