First off beautiful pic, I'm very impressed that it's one of your first.

The first thing I noticed that may be less than right is the left foot. It seems "gummy" and too smooth. It doesn't feel as though it has bones in it unlike the hands and right foot which come across much better.

Good work and keep cranking these suckers out.

half an hour later she'd change her mind, though.

I like the mood and feeling of the girl. It looks like she is lost in some comforting and happy thoughts, relaxed and candid. You should do some more, I like the style.

thanks , :) . i tried to convey a feeling of her beign alone, but happy in her own world. i think i succeded :) .
im trying to paint something each day from now, but i cant afford 6 hours per day :/ ill have to speed up a bit . or spread it out if i get the feeling the painting will be good.
