Description Edit: Re-scanned for better picture quality

The finished picture!

These are some of my closest friends from uni

From left to right:
Jo - She's on the floor because when we go out, she's always so drunk she falls over, especially in mosh pits!! I'm gonna be living with her in September!!

Lou - Lou, with his double southern comfort and lemonade in one hand and two alcho-pops in the other, is always blind drunk by the end of the night... And at the start for that matter! He's such a funny drunk. We'll miss him next year.

Sam and Chelsea - Usually gossiping (with me) whilst Chelsea has a smoke. Lou is obviously talking a load of drunk crap to them, hence the looks on their faces

Ash and Pablo - On a typical night out Pablo and me tend to prank each other (I like to slip his wallet out of his pocket and watch him panic about it!!) in the pic he's annoying me as I'm TRYING to talk to Sam and Chels. Typical. (Love you ~Pablo-Sanchez ).

Jade and Tom - The couple everyone strives to be like, they're funny and adorable together! And apparently highly amused at the sight of Pablo pulling my skirt up ¬_¬0 Notice how Toms' only got one shoe on? He once went out of the flat without wearing any shoes!! I'm living with Tom in September also

Jon - Last but not least, my Jon ( ~coughingboy ), along with Chels, one of my best friends. He's holding his camera because he's the best photographer I know, and he's smiling because being happy is what he does best! Living with him next year too Hell be the one to pick Jo up off the floor and put her in a taxi home

So I hope you enjoy the pic!

Oh wow. I love your style. What an adorable piece.
To be honest, the coloring is so smooth that when I first looked at this I thought it was digitally colored. It wasn't until I read the artist's description that I realized you had scanned it.
The part I love most about this picture, honestly, is Jo. She has THE CUTEST facial expression in existence. I also adore her pose.
The biggest error I can find in this piece is the hands. Hands are the hardest part of drawing a person for most of the artistic community. They're very tricky, and its nearly impossible to get them right every time. One's hand should be approximately the same size as one's face. In anime and cartoons, however, most artists exaggerate this size to the same size as the head, because hands are very useful for expressing emotions, which is very important. One way I practice hands is by looking up stock photos of hands and trying to draw them.
Other than that this piece is absolutely splendid! Great job!

Thank you very much for critiquing!! You're my first
I totally agree with everything you've said, I really do struggle with the hands. With this particular piece though, the characters are chibi so I did their hands smaller and their heads loads bigger, I do understand though Thanks!

Almost everyone struggles with hands, I know I do. I hate doing hands.

Ugh, me too. I've got shoulders pretty much cracked though. Can't draw men to save my life though, unless they're chibi!!
