This really looks so professional, you've got the shading down just perfect and her hair is really well done. I love the background, you did it well and it works just right

Wonderful work! Like I've said before, the lineart looks great, and so does the colourings in this piece. So bright and cheerful

Nice job Max! I like the way that you parted her hair in the middle top there and I always like those free standing hairs Good job minding the light source, all the shading falls just as I would expect it too and the highlighting in the hair works very well. I'm still too much of a wimp to use white for highlights
Though I am starting to toy with it. Great work on the frills as well, I can tell you spent a lot of time on them!

Thanks! free standing hairs are the best I like them a lot :3 I like hilighting with white on lighter colours or if I want something to be really shiny otherwise I won't do it either but in strong light it can give a really good effect, even if you lower the opacity of the layer so it's not pure white :3

Well, I know that I really need to work on backgrounds because I'm a bit bad at them, so I thought I'd give it a shot at trying to do a good one. I'm very nearly happy with it too!
Thanks! :3

Well I haven't been using it very long either, but I have a really good teacher (my friend ^DCZed ) but what I can suggest is find a picture you like and try to copy it as best you can (without tracing it) and mess around with the different tools and brushes to see what looks best for each thing.
For example, I like to use a soft brush for colouring eyes, but for colouring hair, skin and clothes I use the pen tool set to different amounts of feathering depending on the softness I want. and for lineart I use a hard brush about 2-5 pixels, so my best advice is just try things and see what you can come up with when you copy a picture you like.
Fan art is a good way to practise because there's usually lots of pictures to copy
