SM! We are NOT going to laugh. I must say, for you who say you do not like PS, you did GREAT!!

1) Most artists don't use color holds, just because you never think about it, so it is really cool that you experimented. It is very cool that you were playing around with that.

2) The tears are REALLY good!! I love how you highlighted them; another thing people will forget is highlighting stuff, so I'm glad you remembered! ;)

3) You did a good job showing that the sword hilt/pommel stone thing has dimension. Otherwise, it would look flat and bland. One little line can make a HUUUUGE difference. You also made the necklace shiny, which is also a good thing to do.

4) A wee bit of advice for future reference: If you have a lot of off-white/white-ish stuff, white backgrounds are BAAAAD. It makes things "Blendy-blandy" and a bit hard to see stuff. I like gradients a lot because they look professional and are super easy: All you do is pick to colors, draw a line, and voila! Gradient.

5) You did something I don't do a lot because I'm a weirdo: You actually made the character anatomically correct in the fur department. I rarely do two-tone fur, although many animals have them, just because...I dunno. I just never do for whatever reason.

Great picture, SM! Keep it up and believe me, practice makes PERFECTION!! :D

See how some of the lines are not black? That's a color hold. The pic I did for Stardust haremaiden has color holds.
