This is my first time posting here or rather, posting in any art community to ask for feedback on my art in general. Anyways, I've been working on this portrait for about a week now and basically the subject in this portrait is of a wealthy Señora with a smug face complete with fancy jewelry and clothing and I just can't seem to fix what's off about the face area.
I've figured out much that maybe the eyes are too big? But I'm trying to go for that Disney kind of look. Maybe the perspective of the nose is wrong? I'm just at a complete roadblock right now and I've been stressing over this for hours now, maybe some of you can help me out with some tips on how I can fix this?

First off this looks amazing. I feel like there's really are only minor things to get you over the finish line. I did a quick PO as there wasn't much to do. I moved the left eye down a bit( you can refine it more than I did.) I added specular highlights. I know you had some in the eyes but they didn't make her feel alive just yet. You can make them more bright. Also with this being a portrait piece, you need to add these elements as the face is the most important aspect of the painting here. I darken the shadow of the clothing near her face as well as some lines the separate the cloth she's wearing. I paint the hair a little more and I tried to keep the eyes the same seeing as you mentioned trying to go for the Disney look. I think the nose is fine.

I think you should spend more time on this piece. Its really really good so far. Just a few more tweaks

Hope this helps. Again awesome work.
