I'm really digging the way you use color. This is awesome. I'm buying several of your prints and adding you to my watch list. ^_^

Lovely woman and portrait made of her. You made an excellent work on the hair of her and the shades of the bodyparts.. i even think she's my type

Its so beautiful! The colors and her facial expression, so at piece.

One quo with it: that face in her shirt, its just almost too freaky for it. Ya know? It doesnt fit. But crazy job at slipping that in there.

Even in this ( brilliant ) coloured version it still looks a lot like an original drawing. I think it's quite difficult to let it look drawing style and not painted style like. It's amazing how well her expression is done. She looks really concentrated and kind of focused on something. The colours look very gentle and the shadow and light composition looks excellent. Everything looks detailed and the original pencil line looks very clear and concious leaded. Especially her hair looks fantastic. Great collaboration.

very fine!

The fact you could colour it that well without having a reference photo or anything of the model she drew is impressive.

I bet you could have done an even more impressive job if you haden't been watching ER and where sitting in a quiet room. Believe me it makes a difference.

Ahhh, I thought it wasn't your usual style of painting Yay me for noticing.

I love how you've done her clothes... they're so soft, and like watercolour. Very lovely indeed. Don't have much to say about this... it's a beautiful drawing.

Let me just stare at it longer and I'll be satisfied.

dude!? O_o Great collab, I really hope to see more from you two in the near future. your styles mesh perfectly here. I find the way you can adapt your style to fit someone else's fascinating.
One comment i would like to make is about the color in the background, I think a shade of blue or another "outdoors" color, would give this piece more of a breeze feel to it, or maybe some clowds.
ER rules by the way maybe not as much as before, but still the best show on free TV.
