Description
Time taken: 15+ hours in Paint (I stopped timing)I thought that I would do another pixel piece because of all the positive input that I got on my last one... well here it is! ^_^ I had no reference picture this time so a lot of the perspective and proportions are wrong, but I am still happy. I like her skirt, that took me about 5 hours >_< Anyway, enjoy!
PS - Sorry for all the resubmits, Deviantart is not working right...
PPS - Sorry for all the edits, for some reason Deviantart isn't showing my picture T-T

Well if we asume that the only light in the room is from the windows (which is much likely since it's supposed to be dayling)
then i thnk that her body shadow is wrong as well as the lighting on the right side of her body.
Also i think you 'curved' her right leg a bit more.
Hair , clothes, the stool , coloring and overall atmosphere are A*M*A*Z*I*N*G and make me add you
to my devwatch.
Keep up the good work , i hope we'll see more great from you soon

Woah...I've always tired my hand at things like this...and never got good results. This is amazing. The colabration of colour and tone are very good, in fact, it looks...real in a very odd way. Good work!

Wooow... What can I say? You're amazing. I do notice a bit of proportion oddity in the dancer's chest area, but that's all I could possibly say that wouldn't be in complete praise. The mere time you spend on these is incredible! I could go on forever. o-O But I'll spare you the load time. GOOD GOOD JOB! Keep it up, or I will cry. ^_^;

Inspired by Edgar Degas perhaps? I do think you did a lovely job here.
About the perspective, I did not notice anything really important about it, until I stared at the window. I think that's the object that disrupts the perspective the most. Try inclining the angle of that window a few degrees clock-wise.
About the girl, she looks great. Her ballet dress is skillfully done, quite detailed indeed. I think the only part I did not like too much is the area around her chin. I personally think it stucks out more than it should, and it should be more pointy but not too much either. Also, although maybe my eyes are tricking me, her neck looks round in the area that connect it with the head, forming a "cavity" in that area (kinda hard to explain with words, sorry) and, last but not least, try if by making her eye to stand out less than it does here you can achieve a more realistic result.
Keep up the good work!

Thank you for the advice, I will admit that I had A LOT of trouble with that area, and I mean A LOT! I will keep it in mind for next time, I think I already spent enough time on this picture

Well the proportions issues are there, but the perspective, lighting in the background, and simply because it's pixel art, that I must +fav ^^. GREAT JOB ^^!

I know I've already told you how I feel about this, but here it is again. I LOVE IT! The girl and the piano are both masterfully done, and the window and shadow it casts are absolutely GORGEOUS! Very nicely done.
