Awesome first vector!

Also having detail on a vector does not necessarily make it a good vector sometimes the most basic vector of a person can look much more striking than a complicated one with detailed eyelashes, skin tones.
I love the the background you have made for it and the border on the second version fits really well.
My only dislike to be honest is the colour of the background on the second version. Its too pastel for my liking, it doesnt suit the portrait IMO.
