Thankyou, but the hair is never changing. xD The one consistant comment i get from most people who look at this peice is that they love the hair. I understand where your coming from but i think this one is a bad example. ;D

This is good, quite good. The colors of the skin look good, and actually looks smooth, even with the dither. The pinks are well placed.

I don't like the hair though. I suuck at hair, it's hard but I think the key is to try and show the overall shape, not the individual details. Look at this picture and learn:

Thanks!  I'll take that into account in the future. I'm still learning how to shade black. : )

Very beautiful piece; I especially love her ivory skin.  I might suggest more contrast in the hair, though.  Black hair, especially when it's straight, tends to be on the shiny side and usually gleams white in places.     Still, nice job. 

Amazing job D: lovely hair!!!

Very pretty hair~ Nice job. :3

A stroke of ...beauty - a lovely piece!
