The hair and the wind are nice elements of movement in this piece. The character seems a little stiff to me though. Perhaps just raising up an arm to brush away some stray hair would add some interest. Her hand needs some more detail to make it look more realistic. Cute character, thanks for sharing her with us.

  Thanks! more helpfulness... XD. Im not used to getting critiques on my artwork. Sa isnt very friendly. A little too stuck up. Ehehehe... ^^;
  
  Well, considering this is rather old.. (beginnig of this year) And the fact that i can'T do anatomy to save my life, this was the simplest pose i could come up with for this peice... and As for hands... IF i ahd TRIED to put detail in it... it wouldnt look like a hand at all.. i still have a long way to go with that, but as the saying goes, A journy begins with a single step.
  
  Thanks for the help, and your welcome.

  You can get filters for getting rid of it. I personally don't like the thickness off lined paper though. It's not nice to draw on, let alone the final quality of the page...

  The one thing, is i ODnt ahve a good painting program at the moment. My tablet stopped working on my laptop, (that has no internet) and it only works on papas, But papa doesnt have a painting program. Mom DID go buy me a painting program (Coral X) but at the moment its in America. And I'm not. so therefor i have no way to get to filters. Besides I still dont like drawing on lined paper, even IF there are filters.

  I've heard good things about corel. I use photoshop CS2 at the moment, but I don't know many fancy things. I usually discover new stuff when I'm doing selling art and need to try something new out >.> gradient map is my friends however. That's a mode I TOTALLY love for fully rendered pics now ^^

  Photoshop has alot of stuff to play or become broken. I like it though. Corel is nice for digital painting I've heard. I've never used it though >.>
