Well, if this is horrible shading than I'm going to cry now because I can't even come close to that. That's perfectionism at its best though,
I still think it's wonderful.

I love how you were able to do the hair like that! I can't achieve anything like that :S

To me the shading looks great and those white whisps of hair just fantastic! You should be proud!

I was going to say the shading looks magnificent, I like how it looks like the sun is rising behind her casting sunshine on her. Very beautiful, she's adorable little angel.

Thank you. I will certainly tell her parents your compliment. I'm sure they'll be happy to hear it.

this is nice...I think you had fun playing with the kneaded eraser.
Keep it up.

Thank you Robert, I only used the kneaded eraser to adjust the tones on her face, for the hair I used one of those tractable eraser...?(Is that how you call it?) with a sharp edge.

I believe it's called "retractable" eraser.
You can also get a "pencil-like" eraser at OfficeMax.
You can sharpen this just like a regular pencil.
As for the tones on her face...have you tried using "chamois"?

No I haven't.
My prediction is that it will probably give me a smudgy result just by looking at the texture of chamois.

I can tell you that you're wrong with your prediction.

Fantastic!
Questions:
Where can I find those?
How do I clean them? I use up to about 7 tissues every drawing on average, I can't wait to wash the chamois and dry it.

7 tissues? You're not referring to rolls, are you?
You can find them at Target's (or any other store's) "automotive supplies". But some people are saying they're different from what artists use. They're also available at Swain's but much more expensive. Like $2+ for something smaller than a hankerchief.
But seeing your latest drawing of your friend...maybe you don't need a chamois after all!

Thank you Robert.
To be honest, right now I can't even afford a chamois anymore, I invested all my saving on oil paint materials....

Oil paint?
Did you buy the whole set?
π: 0 β©: 1
I dont' know what you mean by a whole set
I just bought many many brushes, as much oil paints as I could afford, two small cans of orderless thinner, big canvas, painting knives...
I skipped the easel because I ran out of money.

You need those in school?
I just think it's wiser to buy those materials only when you need them.
But it's your money.

lol
I'm not doing Paintings for any of my classes.
I'm just doing it because I'm interested in paintings lately, just like how I fell in love with portrait drawings and bought those kneaded erasers and other fancy pencils I had never heard in my life

I see...but oil painting is very much more expensive than pencil drawings.

This is absolutely beautiful! The detail of the hair, the shading of the face...it is all good!

I love the blonde hair... where the light is. This looks so beautiful, you made it very well.

Really smooth .. with the AvatarZ stamp all over it !!
(Speaking of all over it, .. lose the watermark !!! 
π: 0 β©: 1
-I didn't sign it
-I don't know how to add transparent watermarks to my drawings, until then, I'll have to leave that ugly thing on there.

Go to this free font site [link] and pick a font that makes your name look cool - then photoshop it on there .. just lower the opacity to make it look like a watermark.

So that's how you people do it!!!!
Thanks a bunch Brendan!

No problem .. but I've never done "it".
I always sign my drawings in pencil .. and I don't care about watermarks or copyrights.

lol
I couldn't sign this one because I need to turn this drawing in with my portfolio for my AP art "exam", apparently the judges don't like signatures.
