Hi! @Patrick Bosworth, thank you for taking your time to critique! I've only noticed it now that you've pointed it out, and i'll be checking my perspectives often from now on.

Nice portrait @luceberg! Beautiful painterly brush strokes, great value control, nice choice on the more muted background, it lifts the vibrancy of the color choices in the face. One thing I noticed is the features are slightly out of perspective on the left side of the face catching all of the light. The far eye/temple is drifting higher than it should be. It helps to draw a line through each corner of the eye to help keep them aligned in perspective. The chin is also slightly small, and the hair/cranium slightly large, almost as if her forehead was tilting towards us rather than away from us, so adding a bit more chin and reducing the hair a bit might balance it out a bit. Try to draw a box in perspective tilted at the same angle as the head to give you an idea of how the features should align in perspective. When working digitally it helps to draw right over your subject so you can bring this info into your drawing as a reminder of how the features align. I liquified the areas I mentioned a bit in the second image to show what I mean. Also, here's a free video from the Basics Course on Drawing Portraits in Perspective!
