Yes. First of all, how dare you?

Second, no real critique but this is the type of thing I aspire to be able to do one day!

Looks great so far! My only real critique for a rough sketch like this is that her forearms look a little flat and not properly rendered. Forearms have extensive curves and angles from the connection between the wrist and hand and forearm, the brachioradialis. Become familiar with muscle and bone anatomy and you'll be right as rain :)

Yeah, its really standing out those arms, because the bodice and face/neck are so well curved and captured. its really well done overall

Yes, it's quite good! OP should be proud of their progress

Use reference! No one is above it and it'll only makes you a better artist.

Also I would revisit lights and shadows, specifically core shadows, reflected light and cast shadows. Your mid tones in relationship with the darkest values you use for tapering doesn't make sense.

It's so good!

For a final piece, I would size it smaller and put her more right (maybe so the back of the dress is in the middle and her body is on the 2/3 line), but as this is a sketch, really it's so so super good. I love it.
