ok ill throw a few crits at the piece if youd like. first off are you using reference for this or is this out of your head? id look at anatomy for one. size proportion. the top of her head (hair line is a little large i think). Also her right shoulder (our left) seems a little far out, could be pushed in a bit. and i said this on another crit recently. is try hitting it with some more contrast and dark in areas. seems like there is only about a middle value and up. which will help sculpt everything and everything wont seem so flat. also is there any kind of light source? kind of an omni light thing going on. no shadows, highlights etc.

hope those few helped =)

Scratched Glass: thanks allot for the crit. i have no reference, i see what you mean with the hair, did not see that nor the shoulder.. lets see what i can do about that, will try to work in some more contrast also.. concerning light, i haven’t really thought about it, i will look around some , i would like it to be moody and kind of sad. Thanks again, I will post a update as soon as I have something.
