Man!!!.girls are such wooses!...it's only a little butterfly!

This feels way more solid than your first post...thats practise for you...and that you work with a mouse is...er?...I'm not sure whether I should say impressive or masochistic?

Interestingly this is very Indian...like the huge hand painted movie posters, it's realistic but in an idealised and somewhat 'plastic' way. Now that might be your intention I dunno, but if you're after a photorealistic look you need to cross blend your colour palette a little more.
For instance her skin tones will have natural differences in hue, the bright cloth of her clothes would reflect up into her face and the colour of the light falling on her will effect colour changes.
Try to avoid using ONLY the colour of an object for it's light and darks...ie dark blue for the shadows on the blue cloth and light blue for the highlights.

There's some nicely observed details here tho...I particularly like the skin wrinkles caused by her little finger.

This suffers from "compartmentalized color", the common case of filling the areas of a painting with flat colors and then applying black and white to make "light" and "shadow". In drawing with limited color, you can use that as long as there's a color composition overall. But in a painting, it's a serious flaw. Well, in 99.9% anyway, since El Graeco somehow had been getting away with smearing pure white to make highlights without making it look disgusting. (Under a painting, I mean the work which uses color to create an illusion of lit environment, not for purely emotional, represenative or other purposes; the medium can be any.)
What to do to avoid it - well, first of all, follow the classic rule of "tone first, color second": the flawed coloring does exactly the opposite. Plan the color composition so all colors form a harmony. And think of how the colors interact: how presence of a colored object affects other color objects in the painting. The latter is a skill learned slowly, I have to admit, but it's a very advantageous one to have.
A good starting point / refresher is the section on color in "Creative Illustration" by Andrew Loomis. And of course, nothing beats exercising the eye by observation and identifying tone and dominant hue in everything.

Good job in general, but seems to me the area of her left eye and forehead looks rather flat? Probably her eyebrow needs to stick a bit further from the skull.

I agree with Arenhause.Don't worry,my paintings suffer from the same problem,so you're not alon:) - it doesn't mean you shouldn't work to improve your skills
I think it's a great work, I'm also torturing myself with a mouse:) so I know how it feels:)
9/9

Great skin tone. I know how difficult it must be with a mouse! I use it! But what you do is far better than what i do with a mouse! lol! Great work! I think the vivid colours the Indian spirit!
