The line work is spot on as far as I can tell. I happen to realy like the coloring other then her skin tone as well.

Take a good look at the palm of your hand and count the colors. For myself I find 7 or 8 different colors I can find. When painting skin keep that in mind. Otherwise skin looks plasticy and unrealistic.

Keep up the good work!

If you post the reference, I think it would be easier to show you what Al Ian is describing. I pretty much agree with his crits. The image isn't bad, but I'm not crazy about the skintones, or the font. No matter how original or cool you think a font is, it almost always reads as just a font. Manipulating test manually would come off much more appealingly, and would be easier to itegrate into the picture.
