"Hairsticks" by Ellen ´the Alaskan´ Million

You and your hairsticks Ellen... It looks like HTML hates you too, the <small/> stuff didn't work around the Pern stuff. I can see a few things that could improve this picture, but first I want to say how much I like the color you chose to draw her in. Very nice, sepia adds such a warm feeling to pictures. Ok, the first thing that struck me was her back, it seems to me that if you added a teensy bit more back thre that she would looks a bit more rounded, making her shoulders work better with her torso. Also, her face could use a bit more hair on the top of her head or a bit less chin/nose. Remember the rule of "the eye to the bottom of the chin is half the face"? I usually use my fingers to measure that then make sure I have enough skull on the top, or to make sure I don't have too much skull/hair. The other little bit is that she might benefit from a bit more skull in the back of her head. I love the shirt though, you are really good with folds and things.

I had a girlfriend who carried extra pencils and pens in her hair, as hairsticks. She would laugh when I stuck them into my beard!
