Description
You can find the lineart over here: [link]It's lynn's signiture in the corner, too.
(I could have added that I colored it, I suppose, but her signature is just so artistic that putting blocky little words there seems wrong. ;_; )It's from her webcomic, which can be read over here: [link] (as well as on other sites) and which tells the story of Rain (though if you checked her birth certificate you'd see "Ryan" instead) who's aunt is allowing her to go to school as a girl...
...Not that the school knows this, of course.
She's so nervous and cute here. 
At least, that's how I'm interpreting the look.I shifted the color scheme a bit, because I wanted to make it all pretty and pink. Hope Lynn doesn't mind.
(I'll give her extra squishy hugs to make up for it. Don't ask. It's a long story. )Next time, I'm zooming in on the artwork so that i can get it more detailed better; I'd also like to mess around with opacity now that i know how, instead of just messing around with the hair. manga studio debut doesn't have eyedropper, burn, or dodge, but i can shift colors along the spectrum pretty easy, so go that!
(...Go watch !
)PS: I added the text bubble. too.

I like it. Good color scheme and everything. And I appreciate that you left her hair and eye colors in tact. (I had a friend a few years back whom I'd lent lineart to for him to color, and it seemed he was DETERMINED that all of characters needed to have blue hair).
Anywho, my only very minor issue is the socks - which is itself minor, because as it's an easy fact to overlook without color. You see, the costume in the original lineart for this piece is based off the outfit in this piece [link] which depicts that she's not actually wearing socks at all, but pants that stop just below the knees. But beyond that totally understandable mistake that I'd never personally clarified for anyone, I think you did a fine job. ^_^

Ahhhhhhhh. I got confused because I was looking at the chapter page, instead.
I didn't duplicate the exact tones, obviously, but brown hair is brown hair, and I don't see why I should change it when I'm coloring YOUR character.
I still don't know how to do shiny skin and hair, really. ;_: But I'm learning!
Cute avatar, by the way, if a bit weird to see it shift after so long.

Just a note, but mouths aren't nearly so red they are much closer to pink, but are always heavily shaded even when open. You might instead want to try a shade of gray/black that's just faintly pinkish.

She could be wearing lipstick. Making her mouth red.

I figured I'd just point it out. He's still trying to improve as an artist and pointing these thing out to him will help him in the future.
