Pixel Joint Forum: Big Head Challenge

Message

   Part of Jaeden's big head challenge. The goal of the challenge is to make a big portrait that looks like it could have been made using non-pixel methods.
I'm kinda straying from the goal for fear of this not being accepted + my <3 of contrast, but I'm having fun and learning new techniques along the way so it's a lot of fun.

^ Kagami, a character from my story. She's a Gaki and she eats corpses. :P

The shading has obviously just been blocked out, and I kinda need advice on how to shade the hair/face before I go refining it. Color choice and anatomy advice is also appreciated.
Redlines are <3.

	Been working on this little by little... AA'd and fixed most of the shading on the skin.

	Why not clean up some stuff first? There are a lot of jaggy lines and random pixels!

	I usually do that, but I decided to take an alternate route and work on the shading first. The lines will be cleaned up next.
