WHOA, the hair is exelent!

wow thats nice.. i assume you used photoreference...? even if you did its great ... the only thing i would critique is the few hairs that fall into the face.. somehow it doesnt fit and does not look as realistic as the rest.. i guess youre going for realism nonetheless good job +6

yeah, the hair in the face is annoying me as well, I coulda sworn it didn't look so funky this morning. and photo ref was from Deviantart (don't remember user >_<, no tracing or paint over obviously.

Looks great. Acid: if the hair on the face is bugging you, maybe making parts of it a little more opaque (say, when it is going over darker areas), and adding a little reflection will make it look a little more real... just a suggestion on what to do about it if it bugs you.

On the whole, it looks excellent.

thanks ^_^ I'll try that

This looks very good! Well done! Seems your new Wacom works perfect

OMG that's awesome!! Great work!! I think the hairs around the face look great!! To nitpick...the left nostril can use a bit more shaping I think. Not much, the curve looks a bit flat.

The shadow just under the bottom lip is a tiny bit too dark, or severe. It looks forced or fake. A bit of softening and maybe some opacity would do the trick.

Also, where the hair parts at the top, the detail of the strands should go right to the scalp, maybe not as detailed, but there should be a hint of strands there instead of just solid color and the strands ending just before the part.

Lastly, the left eyebrow looks like it could begin further closer to the nose-line. As it stands now, it looks like she tweezed her eyebrow a bit too much . Just a few more hairs to even it out would be perfect.

I'm sorry to be so picky...please forgive me Overall it's a wonderful image!! I love the sparkles in her hair which give it kind of a fantasy look. A definite 8+

thanks christinee, no need to apologize, this is the kind of comment everyone should leave, helpful and constructive ^_^

Very Sweet.

looks great... i wouldn't worry that much about the hair on her face. christinee already said everything else that needed saying lol

great color mood!

I got myself a new Wacom too ^_^ Much easier to paint with than the stupid mouse!

Hair looks great, and I love the skin tone you've chosen. But of course you want constructive criticism. Okay. The catchlight in her eyes look a tad wrong; maybe that's what it really looks like as I haven't seen the source photo. I think it should cover more of the pupil, instead of just sitting around it. The eyes don't look very even (I *know* it's difficult to get it right>_<. Her left eye--our right--is a little squished. A good trick to try is flip the picture, it's easier to spot the trouble spot that way. And her eyebrows could be less blurry, since she has individual strands of lovely defined hair.

well done...I'm really fond of this.

Good work , i agree with Peachysticks. Try to flip your picture, problems will appear clearly to you

Nice Work- really captivating

Nice work!

It's wonderful! The only thing that really bothers me is what christinee said, and that's the line under the lip..seems too harsh...otherwise this is fantastic Keep up the good works!

I like, great work!

wow great painting. i want to say i happen to like the hairs on the face, much nicer than having a hair helmet.

something about the mouth and nose relationship bugs me though, it doesn't seem quite there yet.

nose smaller lips boigger... anyway nice.. .

great work....

awesome!! i love the colours especially. aagh i HAVE to get me a tablet.
love the title too
some things though...the strands of hair seem a little misplaced and unfinished here and there, and the left side of her lips are slightly off.
but aside from that, lovely lovely piece ^^

Nice eyes. looks kinda like an EX of mine.

The eyes look pretty creepy XD But I like the nose the most.

Nice work, good colors

I like this one a lot. :]

very unique............I like it

I can feal the look of your work!! Fantastic, is as if they were alive!! +10

Very beautiful work ! But the nose shock me somehow.. i find it too big, but it's only my opinion ^^

stunning... beautiful... cold (in a happy sort of way)
I like the chilled effect.
Great work

That's great work I like the hair and eyes.

This looks really cool only thing is that her eyes are too big

I think this looks GREAT, only one thing... the nose seems to stick out far at the tip of it, I think this is because it is bright. LOVE the small strands of hair on her face, very well done +6!

don't like the left part of the nose and her chin with chaw is like of a kid or a fat person- the way how it's shaded but love the eyes how it kinda mismeriseing. I'm not trying to put you down or give a bad replie either.

Wow. The coloring is really impressive, just as the whole thing is. ^^ I think the nose looks fine, and same with the eyes.. in fact, she looks like the girl who sits next to me in Biology class. Something about the nose also reminds me of Liv Tyler.

Anyway, it's wonderful work--everything in your gallery is wonderful! Great job, I hope so see more soon.

Nice...love the eyes..

amazing...

one of the best portraits ive seen

gosh!! those eyes...........

beautiful

I don't know if someone already pointed it out but the nose is too big. I like this one a lot too. You're awesome. +8
