    This is really excellent, love the angle of it, really letting the eyes take center stage. The only thing about it that I noticed is there aren’t any top lashes, but assuming you did this from a photo I would think that they probably aren’t that visible there either. I don’t think it’s necessary to add them, but it could make your eyes pop even more. Great job!

    Wow, this is already awesome! However if I were to give my two cents I’d suggest changing the background colour to something a bit lighter just to give shape to the figure overall. The hair just seems to blend in with the dark background, especially at the upper-right portion of the photo. I think the photo already looks great tho, keep up the rad work!

    Looks Great, good skin toning and hair. The art looks a bit flat. Asian features are flatter, and so it’s fine if you want to accentuate that and keep it as is, but moving the light source to the side would really bring some depth to the picture. Otherwise, accentuate the strong depth that all faces have: the triangle under the nose, and through the bridge of the nose, the recession of the cheeks, and really darken the neck so it doesn’t the chin doesn’t bleed into it so much. The more I look, the more I love the hair and the hair’s drop shadows.

    I only have one thing to say: please don’t be afraid to use a wide variety of both cold and warm colors on the skin. Soft pink tones on the cheeks combined with aggressive blues and greens on the chin will make a strong(er) impact.
