Bonito

At my first look, i think didn't that the hair was part of the cat. Maybe make the ears come out from the middle of the hairdo ..?

Not all dithering is bad but dithering in tight areas is usually nothing but crispy edges. Such as the right breast. but still this is a good piece.

Thank you for that, maybe you´re not the only one ;)

I have thought about the dithering thing, and I think i´m not changing it for this piece, because in some kind of way it was designed to be seen and printed in a bigger size, and the dithering is necessary.

But if it was this size, you´re right.

I agree with Manupix on how dithering often does the opposite of smoothing. On most of this piece it hurts the piece as Manupix says. However, I would say that I like it on the cat-face. Maybe it's just me, but the texture makes me see it as fuzzy, like a short-haired cat. But again, maybe it's just me.

The problem with dithering is it often does the opposite of what was intended. You use it to smoothen a transition between color, but most of the times you add unwanted harshness, eye-catching noise, plane discontinuity, etc. All the more so with harshly contrasted tones as in this palette! Look at Mis-Bug's and Jinn's entries: no dithering yet smooth.

The other hand does look like a paw, so I thought she was a catlady. =)

Thanks for that, but what about the dithering? why cannot have it? it is an imposition? I don´t think so... In order to get more detail in the different planes I  think....

And that´s a really good idea, the paw, but I´m afraid my main idea it´s not very clear... she´s suposed to be wearing a mask. Anyway thanks a lot, I appreciate very much comments, because this is my first portrait!

Unnecessary dithering, this palette can't have it!

Some banding around the hair line.

The right hand might look better as a paw; also could be bigger.

Impressive eye!
