This is a gorgeous piece!! The colors, shading and color use are absolutely top notch, and the simple style of it being a just a head-shot make it just an elegant piece. Honestly the colored pencil use and subtle blending and smooth transitions between colors make it look extremely realistic, and gives it a real lifelike appearance. In my humble opinion a little bit more in the way of highlights and lowlights would give the piece that added bit of realism, but the picture still is a wonderful piece. Your color choices to create the different shades and patterns was excellent and the smooth, subtle blending make this a real treat to look at.

This is really cool. That was my favorite figure from CE. It looks vicious yet peaceful.

The paper was really smooth, so it didn't require much effort. And I used a colorless blender.
