Here are some of the references I used:

[link] (this is the colour ref)
[link]
the hand ref that I used was of my own so I can't really show you that and as for the cloth, I just winged it which shows in how poor it turned out...lol
The reference pictures are of Natalie Dormer (my favorite actress) though in the end the image didn't look much like her which is because my skills weren't very good two years ago...

Hi, I ended up getting an A but I would have got an A* if I put more effort into my sketchbook.
I used Photoshop to create this so no paints I'm afraid. though if I were to recommend a paint I would say oils, I find it easier to blend the colours together with oils so it is easier to get softer looking skin. However oils take ages to dry and ruin your brushes...something to keep in mind. If you are looking to get high marks it is best to experiment with lots of different mediums (I'm sure your teachers have already told you all this so I'll stop...hehe! xP)
Good luck with your piece!
I hope to see it when it's finished, it sounds wonderful!

Beautiful work! I love the colours, the soft brushing way of colouring, and the pomegranate is extremely well done, as weird as it may sound

Thank you!

Oh, I loved the pomegranate, It give attention to such details as well and am happy when someone notices. The opening in the skin to show the arils is smashing!

It is definitely rewarding when people notice something small, it means they have truly looked and not just glanced before moving on. 
I had to open the skin so my teacher would stop calling it an onion... but alas she still calls it thus and pays no mind to my ire....¬_¬ I wanted to have juice dripping from it but I was pushed for time... maybe I can come back to this piece later and fix it up...
Thanks again!

Not sure yet...it depends on what my sketch book is like... if my sketch book is no good I'll get a D for it but if it's good I may get an A ^__^ *fingers crossed*
