I like the coloring, very interesting! I think the proportions need a little adjusting, the pube should be around 4 head lenght , while the legs should be a little longer

Thanks ! I bought an anatomy book to get better at this, we'll see !

The form at first glance seems pretty good :)
It is not clear where the light source is coming from (light on lower left side of mask and on top of left thigh, but darker around crotch and lighter again on right side of hip and right thigh).
Have a go a figuring out where the light is coming from and shadowing (and highlighting) appropriately. As an exercise, use a lamp and see how shadows fall on different complex objects and sketch them. Then you may be able to apply this to your art :) I can clearly see how you have the capability for that and you have tried with the lighting.

Thanks ! That's a good suggestion ! I have to admit I tried to do the proper lighting on the body, but on the mask I was pressed by time (this was a live drawing session at the local workshop) and the fact that watercolor is hard to work with in limited time ^^"
