hope

she seems timid, tenative, reaching out gently while still cluching herself for support, gripping her shoulders tightly with fear and anticipation of what the future may bring.
but yeah, i definetly see hope in her eyes. even in her pose, she seems ready to find something new in the future, something better than only through the hard work she's put into it, she can obtain.

hehehe sorry for the long response, it just inspired me xD
its so good and the expression is beautifully made.

your right, you DO have a hopful future in art. your detailing and shading skills are amazing. and its good that your proud of yourself, because u really are amazing!

Superb art! Love the mouth especially. I would not worry about a future in art, it seems you are gifted with much natural talent. I do see hope there, a sort of hesitant hope following a big hurt of some sort. I can see a hint of non-belief in the left eye (our left, her right)but yes, there is hope there, just a seedling beginning to sprout, not taken root, and vulnerable. Again, very nice
