Honestly, your coloring skills never cease to amaze me! How you have the patience to meticulously color in each strand of her hair - it leaves me in awe haha. It just goes to show how putting effort in, and something as simply as coloring the way with the flow of the object goes to make a picture come alive!

You friend looks very beautiful indeed! Recently I did something similar to this - but it looks no where NEAR as professional as yours!

If I had to be choosy - her eyes seem slightly off to me - I think you outlining it in black gave it too much of an 'indent' impression. Personally, I would have liked to have seen it with just some shading around the edges to create the impression of shut eyes rather than outling them.

It's only a suggestion :P hehe it's hard to critique someone with such amazing skills - don't be suprised if this ends up in the elite gallery

Love your work! *heart* and I look forward to seeing more soon!

wow! this looks like the work of an true artist and pro! the style is very 80's-ish manga shoujo, which is nice! I cant believe how good the shading is!

Your skills are truly top notch! You never cease to amaze. Beautiful job on the colors and shading, but the coloring/shading of her hair is my favorite part. I'd have to agree with kukuru on the eyes though. It does seem like the right eye is too indented. Actually when I viewed it in full mode I saw a swatch of color between her eyelashes... Are her eyes slightly open? To me that looked a little odd,. I think that having her eyes completely shut would have been better. But no one can deny that you have talent! For that, I think a fav is in order... keep up the great work!

Wow... amazing shading o_o In fullview the details blew me away Gorgeous job

OMGosh! WOW! This is amazing! I can't believe you did this with gel pen. I could never draw in gel pen! You did an awesome job coloring her. I didn't know you can get this kind of result with color pencils?! It must have taken you forever to color. Especially her hair! WOW! Her hair came out amazing! It looks so real and super soft! Simply gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!

WOW AMAZING!
