IM BACK!!!!!!! lol i know it took me forever to get my account working
and then the applet kept crashing and stuff ...... so this is the outcome of my computer insanity. sorry if its not up to par, it was the best i could do under the circumstances.
this is actually for zoe's contest. im still not used to the new way of posting, so i guess its going in 11* instead.
please c&c!

I like it She looks like a doll ! For crits, you can try making the hair more dynamic by adding thin strokes with the airbrush, just to like give it a flowy feel, ya get me ? The skin is shaded real well, but try adding more colors--shading with just a darker version of the starter color gets kinda boring to some people. Also, some parts of the face could be more defined, like just the nose a little bit, the tiny bridge thing that connects the nose to the lips, the actual lips, and the neck. I think the background could use a little work too; I can't really tell what it is x) And since only the left /our left/ side of the head is shaded, that would mean that the light source is coming from the left, but it's kind of hard to tell since there's no shading in the background either, ahah. Hope that wasn't too harsh...just trying to help ^.^

definitely not to harsh, all crtis are helpful im not really sure what the background is either, i was mainly focusing on the face maybe ill fix that later.....

It's really REALISTIC I think the eyes are a little big tho

this is a nice drawing
