I like it very much although i would like to give you a tip... To get a smoother look to your piece shade using small circles the straight lines give it more of a "grainy" (hope thats the right word) look.

Thanks for the advise! I did this a long time ago but still no one has ever really taught me about a good way to use colored pencils. I will definitely keep that tip in mind the next time I use them!

One more thing with colored pencils since you brought it up. When you color with them go from lightest colors to darkest colors... If you mess up its easier to fix. And try and pick out all the colors you need for one section and arrange them in order you will use them. (has helped me a lot... could help you too) (for example: skin tones (white person) the colors you would use (assuming you have a 12 pack box of colored pencils) would be yellow then orange then a light brown and then a darker brown is necessary... And you could even throw some peach and green in there if you think it needs it.

That is great to know, thank you again! It makes sense to do that, but I guess I am used to paint were I can put down any color I want and it doesn't matter. it seems like you have to be a lot more careful and think ahead with colored pencils.

Just a little but... Pencils are more versatile and you can have a little more control... And if you have a piece of sticky tack (can get at most stores) or a kneed able eraser you can kind of lift mistakes you have made off the page... cool stuff... but its not really hard... its just knowing the right combination of colors to put down.
