Description
"You just think it, that's what you do baby... Hold it down, DARE."It's. It's supposed to be Noodle from Gorillaz, which I am currently addicted to.
I'm actually quite proud of her.
And yes, that's a guitar, despite some of the earlier guesses.
Oh, well. Enjoy!
Watercolour paint, coloured pencils and ink.

Fill your classmates with joy and love and writhing orgies of colour.

I didn't notice it was noodle, though I'm not big on Gorillaz (Anything ending with a z to look different or new blows) but I do really like this piece. Nice details, though the mouth is a bit hard to see.

Thank you muchly, I appreciate feedback from an artist of your caliber.

I really love your bold coloring in this piece! It's so dynamic and rich. 
What makes this successful is the areas of deep dark and white lights, this adds a great deal of constrast , like in the hair spikes, the collar, the guitar for black, and the left goggle, mouth area, and hair highlights.
(the next paragraph is getting into nitpicking territory, but it might be valuable in seeing something new in your work)
I feel the areas that you put some white over the jacket deaden the color and it is not as vibrant, it does not add the visual texture or shape of form like you intended. It probably would be better to not have colored the jacket so deeply at first and left some of the red lighter.
Also to help all the detail of the items stand out, you could have left some specular highlights of white on the shapes, like you did on the crown emblems and the goggle.
Well, that is my insight, hope it is valuable in some fashion.

Actually, that's very helpful. Those suggestions should help me greatly in the near future.
Thank you.

Blaudy hell, that's brilliant! You can tell it's Noodle a mile off, and that colouring is amazing. I still can't paint to save me life, though I would imagine a need as desperate as that wouldn't arise. D.A.R.E used to be my favourite ever song, but it slowly just became a mere "favourite" due to listening to it over 300 times. Don't fall into the same trap! D:

I'm afraid of becoming sick of it already. I still love it, but I listen to it over and over again.

Your coloring style
is so
unique,
even if I continue to say it.
So many colors.

Thanks a lot.
And I've only been painting for a little while. Few more years, and the world is mine!
BUAHAHAHA!

Hah, I TOTALLY called the subject matter when I first saw the title.
Anyway, I can tell it's Noodle, and she looks amazing. I really love the use of color here. The only thing I'd watch out for is the way some of the different colors and darker tones shape her face: they seem to make her face look too flat here.
And as for the whole thing not fitting, here's a tutorial that may help you with that: [link]

I imagine. I've listened to that song, like, 10 times in a room. It's my new bitch. In fact, I think I'll do it again!
I thought about doing that, but I was generally afraid of screwing it up.
Thanks for the advice, I'll be more cautious on the colours next time!
