Description *Updated 01/03/2015 with touched up version fixing anatomy and color*

I finally colored the lines I made back during the CMCs "hair" themed contest.

I finished it as my entry to my college's yearly arts publication. It had to be a 8.5x11, so the original extra space couldn't fit. I think some of the original feeling of "solitude" was lost, but it still sort of fits I guess.

I really don't like the way the face turned out. It's actually a little off, but it's not the worst I've ever done. AND printed out this looks really pretty with all the blue */shameless plug*. The idea was that with mainly blues, the person would draw the focus because of the reds in the skin. Not sure if that worked.

The time for just the coloring is probably around 20 hours.
Used photoshop Elements 6 because it came with my tablet and I prefer my new computer to my old one…
Oh yes, hundred theme challenge: 1 down, 99 to go.

Whoa, this looks so amazing! I love the detail put into the clothes and the snow looks so magical! She also blends in well with the background, but is still rather distinguishable. This whole piece gives a magical and awestruck feeling, I absolutely love it!
