Thanks so much for looking! :)

Hi, this critique is for #FeedbackFrenzy from group 39.
Wow, this is a great drawing. The emotion is so great, she looks so very sad. Maybe it's because you drew the eyes so sharp and detailed. They seem very much alive. The skin seems very real as well. That's a hard thing to do with colored pencils.
The way you changed the colors of the original photo is nice. It adds some warmth, but I do think you made the background too bright. It distracts from the girl.
Apart from that I don't know where you could improve even more. You're obviously very skilled with pencils, keep up the great work! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)"/>
