So, what can I say...

I'll start with the positives: The hairstyle idea looks really nice. The pigtails suit the rest of the hairstyle nicely + the colour looks rather nice, but... That's about it.

The most visible problem here is the pixelization. The hairstyle looks very pixelated and choppy, which is never a good thing (obviously).

Another problem, less visible, but still a problem, is that the right pigtail is misplaced. It should be a bit lower and further to the right.

The last issue with the portrait is the inconsistent colour. The forelock and the pigtails use different shades of red. I'd recommend that you desaturate the hairstyle completely and apply the proper colour using either the "Overlay" or the "Multiply" layer modes.

In conclusion, there's a lot of room for improvement. Just practise enough and also try to spice your portraits up by giving students different skin tones and facial expressions.
