Sharing My Work - Hoping for Critiques (CLOSED) (CLOSED)

Hey everyone, I'm using this thread to share my work in progress. I'd love to hear your critiques and opinions if you have a minute to chat with your humble Luxe Muse.

One thing that I do by default is to always set the pigmentation of the skin first.  Dark skin demands quite different settings to light skin.  So I set the main pigmentation using Base Colour first, and then (always) directly follow that up by setting the Translucency Weight second.  I do this because in real life, the colour of the skin effects the amount of translucency you see.  Dark skin supresses how much light gets to scatter beneath the surface, and therefore demands notably different settings to light skin.

The final major step is age, which again I set using Translucency Weight.  You might wonder how it's possible to do that if it were already used to set scattering effect based on skin pigmentation, like, but won't that ruin my previous setting?  The answer is no, because basically what you're doing is adding or subtracting from the result you arrived at previously, and the reason you needed to arrive at a result that you now need to change again, is because in doing so, those original settings you arrived at are what landed you with the correct pigmentation or Base Colour in the first place (or at the very least they landed you in a very good safe zone for getting the skin to look pretty good).

So in setting the age then, all you need to remember (in addition to the above) is that younger characters will need more translucency by default, than older characters.  This is because skin is thinner when you're young, therefore more light enters, illuminates and scatters within the blood directly beneath the skin, and what you see is the result of that interaction with light.

By the way, it's best to do all that under specular settngs that are a good common gound, not overly shiny, or dull.  And always set Translucency Weight while the light source is not hitting it from the front.  The only time you need light from the front (or side) is when you're setting specular.

Skin, lips and teeth look very good. Nothing to complain here. The brows look also good, but I would still reduce their width a bit to make them to look more childish. They are too expanding at the outer sides. 

And although the milk teeth look good, they are supernumerary. I count 24 teeth in Hanna's mouth. But that's an incorrect number. The milk dentition only counts 20 milk teeth in reality.

I have manipulated the image. These are the correct proportions for a 6-year-old: 

Here's again a manipulated image of the 6-year-old version with the corrected, less womanly shape.

Here's a direct comparison.
