It's pretty good for a first try. Colored pencils are difficult.
Try some still life observation... that helped me quite a bit to get the colors right.
also- if you can get your hands on a set of the basic Prismacolor brand pencils, they are absolutely amazing- they will blend better and have less of a scratchy look.

amazing job here, though

yep..i've heard about those Prismacolor pencils but i don't think they're available here in Australia..

anyway, thanks again for the input.. i guess i should go and try to do more still life with my CPs..i hope you don't mind me asking for your opinion again..

i always forget that prismas are difficult to find outside of the US...
