I'm feeling pretty proud of it. However, I'm sure you guys may be able to spot some mistakes. What do you guys think? Which version do you prefer? |

The thick area of the lineart at the top of her head reads more like a lineart mistake than the puffed up/overlapping hair that it was in the sketch. The shading is inconsistent. The hair appears lit from the upper left, the neck appears lit from the lower left, and the forehead is getting a large shadow from an unknown source. I think the hair looks great, so perhaps the shading should be made to follow that? In that case, the neck should be fixable simply by adding a cash shadow on it from the head. I think the colours and lines here look great, and it's really just the shading that looks off. |

Looks lovely.
Did you try moving the forehead shadow more than that? ------------- |
