Nice work, her cheek needs to be smoothed out a bit though.

Very nice! Looks like an oil painting. The hair looks awesome, specially on the top. You should do more seperation on the bottom locks, it's pretty choppy. Other then that, I like it!

wow, great job, and I think her cheek looks fine as is

Lovely portrait :-) Love the painty look

wow. very detailed. i could never do that! ( well i could with practice cuz i do good on paper)

The hair is awesome, veyr nice portrait.

This is a real eye-catcher; the way you've done the backlighting on the hair is really nice and dramatic. If this were mine and I was going to rework it (not saying I think you should) I'd put some highlighting on the hair over her forehead to give it more dimension--it looks a bit flat. Also, underneath that part of the hair there is a shadow that makes the skin above her eye look indented. The shadow's there in the photo, it's just much lighter. I might try to make the eyeball look more rounded. The mouth and teeth are so well-done it looks like cut and paste! lol. Very nice job. (Hope you don't mind me making some suggestions.)

By all means, comment away. I would like to edit the picture, but I went over the alotted picture size and am too lazy to contact the admin to request more. I have touched up the picture using Painter IX and will post a link when I'm done. I will take all suggestions given here into consideration. Thanks for the comments/critiques.
