This one will work on DA, for sure. A lot of colors, people love that. People love Leonid Afremov... Anyway.
ok she is very pretty and well done, great look, great lips, nice skin.
Colors in the hair, not very good, it is a bit weird, I don't know, I do not believe in that too much. Plus the red-yellow-blue is not very well chosen. On the other side, the green background works perfectly with the pink of the skin. Looks like the colors which Mucha would have chosen.
Nice touch of blue in the neck!

Thanks! That's a very perceptive critique! I think it is my most popular piece on DA so far. That being said, I agree with you about the hair. I don't mind the colors, but they're not very smooth and make some weird shapes, etc.

This works really well! You got the colours to ping and the lines are really nicely done. hair can be such a challenge! I'm always too lazy to do good lineart for hair.
