A picture of a girl.
I couldn't figure out what else to do, and since BBS is such a basic program for drawing I couldn't do any other affects that i wanted to.
So this is the end result.
Well, there are some things you could do to improve this piece...
1) Decide on a direction of the light, and stick to that same direction of light for both the hair and the skin
2) Create depth using shadows on the skin, keeping in mind basic human anatomy for where the shadows would fall given the direction of light
3) For the hair, try to use a thinner brush on lower opacity to detail the individual hairs... Also, don't put dark and light hairs all the way through the mass of the hair... You want to create depth by using light and shadow, so emphasize the direction of light by making (in this picture) the top of the head have more lighter hairs and the bottom having more slightly darker hairs (also choose a darker tone for the underside of the hair)
4) Think of how hair bends away from the part... Use your slightly darker tones nearer to the roots, and then a highlight at some point soon after in order to emphasize the curve of the hair away from the scalp.
5) Try to use thinner brushed in general, and different layers for different parts of the lineart.
6) Try not to emphasize the "smile" lines around the mouth... It's not attractive, and adds age to the person you're drawing.
Gaah, I don't konw what I'm talking about. Whatever... Nice drawing :)
