Hi all,
 
This is my first serious attempt at pixelling. I'm sort of happy with her face, but the shading on her body is all messed up (not sure I can fix it - I wouldn't know where to start...)
 
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
 
Anyway, before I submit it to the gallery I'd like to get some advise on how to dither the transition between colors. I think it'd make it look a lot better.
 
Thanks in advance.

 EDIT: Reference

the shading should be more evident if you pay attention to the anatomy and not just the light. the clavicles, the muscles of the neck- all of the anatomy that makes up these areas has subtle effects on the lighting, so be sure to pay attention to her structure and not just fields of light and dark. also, you've made her neck really thick.

if this is for your own pleasure then ignore the following critique, but if this is for the gallery: all of the color-reduced portions will need to be reworked by hand. tracing as it is is controversial enough (plenty of pixel level work will be required in order to claim it as 'your' work), and color-reductions are banned entirely.

Yeah - a photoshop-color-reduced image isn't really pixel art, now is it?
