see eyebrow on the sketch near edge of the nose line here u move it far away like it should be and also shadow under chin on sketch darker and from this neck looks less then here. may be these is a reasons?
@Steve Lowtwait@Ash Solano@Alex Novoseltsev@Ryan Harrison Thanks for your advice everyone! I think that you're all right. I've not quite followed the sketch in places. I'll make a few adjustments and see if it's better. Going from pencil to the pen tool is always tricky as pencil lines can be really ambiguous
I prefer the eyebrow here, the other one on looking back is bordering on Frida-esque. I don't think anything is missing, it's just the natural progression from loose, rugged pencils to tight simple shapes on the computer. Maybe more rugged edge on the shadows? Like you've been doing but more rugged still.
@Marc Aspinall Thanks Marc, yes I think it's that too, I was doing rough shading too up close, so that from here we can't see it, I'll go roughs still : )

slowly adding colour between jobs. I can't help feeling that I'm missing something from the sketch though

You dont have the shadows for her right arm like you do in the sketches. Maybe that's what it needs?

I like the shape of her hair around her face.

Looking great so far Andrew - love the expression on her face (she looks totally lost in the music). Those delicate hands are really lovely too.

I agree about the eyebrows and some more heavy shadows under the arms/instrument.
