You're welcome. She looks like her, but much younger that's why I didn't reconize her first.

Nice work! Good job on the transparency of her dress.
I noticed you experimented a little on the Yosafire drawing, by combining colours to create depth and transparency (her hair). Something to try, is using multiple colours to create more depth and colour variation in your drawings. For instance, if you want to draw a blue dress, lay down a light layer of red where you want the darkest shadows and in the folds of the dress. Then put a light layer of yellow, green or orange even, where the highlights and lighter spots are, then fill in the blue like normal. Choose your colours based on the environment and the mood of the scene, that way they don't seem too out of place. By drawing in layers, you can create drawings with more visual depth and more interesting colours - trick a viewer into seeing a blue dress, when there is red in it too!
Anyways, nice work, and thanks for the llama

No problem
That would work too. Plus I imagine the marker would be easier to add a layer of coloured pencil to than it is to add a layer on top of existing coloured pencil.
I paint this way. If I'm painting blue sky, for instance, usually the base colour is something like orange, red or green. Then gradually building up thin layers of paint to allow the base colour to show through at the end. You can use it to draw attention to things that otherwise wouldn't get much attention. Might be a little tricky to do the same layering with coloured pencil though, but a few layers are usually pretty easy. Just beware of smudging with you use a light coloured on top of a dark colour.

Oh, I see! What kind of paint do you use?

Mostly acrylic. I dabbled around with oils and watercolour but i prefer acrylic. You can get similar overlapping effects with oils too, but it often takes longer because if the paint isn't fully dry there is a chance it could smear the layer below.
The main trick I've found is how much paint you put down. Using less paint lets the layers of colour show through, while using more can create solid colours. For example, in my painting Lost Souls - omanoct.deviantart.com/art/Los⦠- if you look at it up close, there are areas where what you thought was black or red or blue, are actually many colours. Other areas, like the highlights on the hands are strokes of solid colour. It's not perfect but the idea is still there.
This is kinda hard to translate into coloured pencils unless you use watercolours to create gradients and softer areas, complimenting the more solid pencil lines. However the concept of layering the colours is still applicable.

Yeah, it's probably easier with paint. But I guess I have done something like that with color pencils too, at least with dark areas. Sometimes I slightly erased the top layer to reveal the color underneath.

As long as the paint is dry, yes
I don't know many people who have learned that the eraser is just as much a medium for drawing as the pencil is! I've found you have to use the soft erasers though - tougher erasers with do something with paper (flatten the texture maybe) and then any drawing there doesn't stick. The paper becomes almost slippery...
Something else you could try, though it's a little messier and less accurate, is using a smudging shammy. When I used charcoal in highschool and Uni, they suggested we use a tissue or small, soft cloth to smear the charcoal dust. I had already experimented with smudging with coloured pencils as well, so it made sense to me. It's harder to get dust with coloured pencils, but you can still use a tissue on blocks of colour to smear and smooth it - it works amazing on really light, softer areas like sky or clouds, just test it on another piece of paper first to be safe. Just remember to start with lighter colours and work darker - reverse doesn't work out very well...

The quality is just fine and I like the colors quite a bit 
Her dress and the expression turned out nice too, as did the pose I'd say.
