nuthing wrong with your english...besides the language of art is universal...(yuk..sounds so preachy!!)
about the girl...
shes hot!!...but you can make her hotter...
1: highlights on the skin are almost never so harsh..even if the body is oiled...so mebbe you need to tone it down a bit.
2: when rendering skin..you shud try to use not just one colour and its shades..like here..try using tinges of orange, green, red also and then blend it ..because otherwise the skin tends to look a lil 'muddy'
3: define your light source/sources and then cast your shade and light accordingly..that makes the figure stand out and look like its got volume..
i think ur getting this bit right..except.. mebbe her left boob should cast a slight shadow on her arm.. her face appears flat..thats maybe because you still have to add the shadow areas..
luv the boobs tho...:) <3
al in all...there are minor issues but its lookin great...keep at it!!!

Thanks for quick reply

...and thanks for the crits, really helpfull,
will fix the shadow on her left arm and tone down the highlights.

I'll give it a try to add some more tones to the skin...will post when I got that.

Very hot. >D

Her face seems a bit crooked. Like everything is very slowly melting down toward the right side of her face.

Also, if she's meant to be asian, the eyes don't tend to look like that. Reference a few more asian photos.
