this is beautiful. lovely anatomy, expression, & overall mood in this piece. I adore your shading, by the way...! I've been trying to focus less on levels of dark/light, really try to smooth out my shading/highlighting and focus more on textures, make slight differences really make a big difference instead of overcompensating by shading really dark or highlighting really bright... blahblah sorry for the rant, just saying, you pull off what I'm working on myself. it's wonderful to see. I aspire to that level of understanding in these areas of digital art. keep up the great work!

Thank you so much >.<
Colors and lights are always the matters. I tried this type of shading for the first time (maybe?)..
Anyway I like how this turned out too!
