Description
This is one of those that's originally served as a practice piece but it turned out to be not.I haven't done any full realism in a long, long time. The last time I did this kinda of art, well... it was kinda... shameful.
I kinda went with my gut here and made my lines naturally messy. 'coz that's how i do lines normally when I draw in traditional method. I finally accepted the fact that messy lines are my thing and I shouldn't try to make them straight. 'coz every time I made them straight it doesn't look right.
The art kinda shows how I feel inside in mt current status with my pressures at school and at work. It just shows that I'm not giving up on my problems...
(now I learned that whenever I get inspired, my art progresses... now i just hope I get inspired everyday
)I'll definitely make more of these.
almost forgot to mention...Reference for her facial highlights from: [link]

I like it a lot! It has a certain charm in it. But somehow she reminds me of Bella Swan :/

The featurings are amazing, specially her eyes, they seem to be alive! The also looks very pretty.
And a tip, regarding the skintone - I see you always use a dark, greyish tone to paint the shadows. Try to use a reddish color to do it, you can observe this in pictures and good tutorials about it, it will make the skin look more "alive" as well.
Here are some skin tuts that I found very useful, and learnt a lot from them:
