Off to a good start. Green is a very difficult colour to work with.
Don't be afraid to ask questions, everyone on here is very helpful.
Don't get discouraged, don't expect perfection on your first piece (or your 50th piece). Every figure is a learning experience...
And don't forget... HAVE FUN!!!!

Looking good for a first one.
Some small points. Look good to the brodery. There are some more that needs paint.
The eyes: avoid white for the eyeball. Better is to take some skincolor and light it up with white. You get a off white.
Put into the eyesockets a dark brown coller. If dry a wash of a redwine color. That will help to avoid the pop eyed look.
Don't use white to lighten up red, but use yellow.

Not horrible at all. Try to get a fine brush to line shadows a bit more darkly along seams and edges. Also try for more contrast, particularly on lighter colours like the face, stockings and feathers (deeper darker shadows). This is important when painting smaller scales but it is also a matter of personal taste. You have done good detail work. Uniform braid is often better rendered in browns and yellows rather than gold but again that is a style thing.
For detail work, use good brushes that come to a point and take very good care if them.
Much better than my first figure but you can't expect to be expert in one go. You seem to work quickly which is good as it will allow you to advance quickly if you don't get frustrated. You clearly have what it takes.
