Description
This is so different to what I usually do, and this is my first time at drawing on Photoshop, so please be nice. For a first attempt, I'm quite pleased, and I hope to do more similar things in the future, although this took me quite a while to make.The only thing I'm not particularly happy about is the hair - I kinda got a bit impatient come the end, and I probably could have done better, but there ya go.
The effect was supposed to be a bit spooky, a bit sad. I hope I achieved that, to some extent. Please let me know what you think.
And I hope you like it!
Edit: I got rid of the annoying letters at the bottom. I thought they were getting in the way a bit.
Edit II: I brought the annoying letters back, although they're smaller and more transparent this time, so they're not quite as annoying. Also, I was really unhappy with the hair (it's been bugging me for AGES) and I've fixed it a little, so that it looks smoother. I also adjusted some of the shadows and highlights. I hope it looks better for this. Oh, and also, sorry how it's come out all pixelly. I don't know why, but unfortunately I don't know how to fix it.

Very beautiful, using the colours of sadness to really bring through the emotions
The flow and movement of the hair is fantastic
Even though this is very beautiful, i would still say maybe you should broaden some of the facial features, like the nose and mouth ^^

I'm glad you liked it.
What do you mean by broaden?

Okie dokie.
It's just if I go too overboard, making things sharper and all that, my pictures tend to (for some unknown reason) come out really pixelly, which can ruin it a little ... I don't know why though - I need to perhaps look into it.

Ahhhhhhhh that happened to me when i was doing a art piece in my class one time 
It's still very good
Some pictures are better blended in more, when they are too sharp they kind of look wrong sometimes, the softness in this picture also aid towards the emotions running through the woman so maybe it is better that it is blended

you did this in photoshop, but do you have a wacom or something? If so, what do you have? I need to buy one.

Oh no, sorry, I did make it in Photoshop. Silly me. I'm always forgetting.

wow, how did you manage it with a mouse? I have a hard time with mine.

Actually, with just the touch pad on my computer. And it took quite a long time to get it right - I almost gave up halfway through, and rushed the hair really, so I'm still not too pleased with it, but heyho.

Hey.
Um, no, actually, I think I first made it in GIMP. And no, I don't have a Wacom, although I really want one! It'd be so much easier to make this kind of thing.
Sorry though.
