Decided to go for some realism in a painterly way. I used a photo from a magazine as reference.

Doh! I went way past the 400 kilobyte limit. No chance for revision.

Nice scratchy FX and a goodly job on features and expression. Your open shadows are well done. Shaping on the forward eye is excellent.

Wow, I really like. and you are way past the 400, but i think her little smile's worth your 891 kb.

Thank you - I always mess up the eyes. I'm not very happy with the receding one. I ended up screwing up the contours and re-emphasized it, at which point I sort of flattened it out and lost the depth.

The scribble style wasn't deliberate at first, but I couldn't figure out a very quick and easy way of blending two colors without making it look too smooth (blur tool just doesn't quite cut it for me though I ended up using it a lot at first). I just ended up overlaying scribble scrokes instead.

i was about to say, when i read the title and saw the preveiw pic, i was like THAT IS NOT SKETCH! and i still stand by that, even though its got that sketchy appearance up close....STILL GOOD!!

Very cool scribbley stuff... Kind of reminds me of when we were little and we colored over black construction paper and then scratched it off to make a picture.

Try also squinting and looking at this; pretty cool.
I think you must have a good eye for colors and shapes if you can manage to get such a close photo-quality picture out of scribbles.
