:o This came out really good! Lindsey, I do want to give you a little advice though that I have been noticing in your art and I'd feel really bad if I didn't tell you.
I know that the bucket tool in Sai is shoddy at best, that's why when you're finishing up that you have to be careful of where your colors are at inside of the lines. What I do is on the lineart layer, there is a button called Selection Source above your layers window. When you click it, that layer should be highlighted in green in that window. Then, when you go to color it, on the bucket tool options, click selection source and play with the settings a little. Sai is an incredibly touchy program but that way you can circumvent the coloring problems a little bit. Also, what I like to do is when I'm done, I'll make a base layer of a stark contrasting color that can be seen underneath all of the color colors. (Say if you were coloring Lizzie, I would make the background hot pink. Or if I was doing Mento, I would make it electric blue)
I really hope that you don't mind the critique ^^; I just hate to see you having this problem with your art and I just wanna help! You are doing a great job and I want to see you continue with that!

Thank you, glad you like it! ^^
No I dont mind! Oh, I don't use the bucket tool, I mainly use the airbrush and blur tools if I were doing soft shading but since this was flat colors I just used the airbrush tool plus I went onto Photoshop and highlighted the hair with a tiny light brush to have a shiny look to it. Thanks for the tips, yeah I always have a problem like that, I try to get most of the little white spots off with the select and color tools so I can color them in but sometimes I can't get every little one. Once again thank you and I'll try to fix on that more.
