The hair is where the two versions really separate — the streaked highlights give it volume, the flat yellow reads more graphic but flatter. Which one are you leaning toward for the final?

I really like the flat color version thats why i also added it. But didnt want to leave it looking that simple so added highlights and shadows.

The highlights read like they sit on top of the flat shapes instead of replacing them, which keeps both versions readable on their own. Is the light source a single direction across the whole piece?

Yes, directly at her. Maybe a bit tilted upwards

A slight upward tilt changes the whole power dynamic — she's looking up at the viewer instead of facing them head on. The flat color underneath leaves that moment room to land.
