I love the finished piece and your steps and sketch as well...
As for me, this sketch is an individual piece of art itself... I'm in love with the way you're sketching.

And, what's more I have to say... I see the same problem with you, as with me. Yes, you draw much better than me, but... Her face is more beautiful in sketch, than in finished piece, as for me. The same I always see in my artworks and often I'm sad about it.

Though, sorry if I've offended you with my comment.
Anyway, I love all of your pieces, sketches and finished, and I wish to be as good as you some day...

I love this. very inspiring. I see that you clean-up the drawing then start colouring part by part. Very systematic. Maybe I should learn this method too! Just curios, did you use lasso and save all the selection for every part such face, etc? and one more q, hope you don't mind I keep asking many stupid question... you usually use what size and resolution?

I'm still learning to paint realism, hope one day I can reach your level.

oh yeah, you said u painted in Photoshop CS, that's great. I'm still using photoshop 7. ^^

No matter what I do, my paintings end up looking patchy and the lighting is also not uniform. What should I do to paint as smoothly with such impeccable lighting as you! Hope you'd answer!

Thanks! ^^
