I agree with the above, especially the dithering. Remember not everything should need to be "perfectly gradiated", even on skin. In fact, kicking some of that dithering will give you more contrast that everyone was talking about.

face colours seem pretty good to me.
there was still some things bothering me so i started this edit to give you the idea.


i obviously can't know what u look like but you appeared a little cross-eyed.
The nose was still bothering me and the excessive amount of dithering isn't doing ur complexion any favours.
And neither is the extended gradients across all your shadows, try a mix of smooth gradients and harsher shadows to better define forms.
Well, your edit doesn't look a thing like me XD
My current one is accurate.

I will play around with reducing the dithering a bit

If you're going to ask for help with a portrait then it helps to include a photo.

I think one thing people are still not liking is how dark you made the outline. Try making it using the darkest purple in the palette.

I would love to, but I do not have a functional camera. I have been using a mirror while creating this.

Yeah, with all of the complaints I have got about the outline, I will try that.

Edit:
Modified it a bit more, and I think it is just about perfect now.

Have you tried it without the outline?

Yes I have, but I didn't like how it looked, so I added one.
