Description It's freezing here, a cold wind blows and theres ice on my car almost every morning.. So I wanted to draw something related.
I'm very very VERY happy how this turned out!! I spent all day coloring and now at 2 am in the morning, I'm feeling dizzy but finally it's done XD I tried to improve shading and light effects, also a pose from a little above (took reference pic of myself for that).
I think I'm finally getting the hang of it, looks a lot more realistic shading wise than my older works

Enjoy the girl with the necklace made of snow

Great work. I really like the necklace and the jewelry in her hair, that must have taken a lot of time to draw! Well done!

Thank you If you mean that especially the jewelry took long, no it didn't the skin and face is what always takes me most

Must be my own bias talking, then - I detest drawing such detailed elements, which is why I'm always impressed when I see them in someone else's works. And you're welcome

Woooow that looks so gurgues :3 Lol, I thought of giving you a critique back since you sorta did one for me soooo:

I really like the colors you picked for this, and it all looks very elegant and it makes me want to look at it for a while; just very eye-catching for me. The face is nicely done and her hair looks so delicate. That necklace, well, dat necklace, very nicely done, and nice design (again) The shading of her hand looks a bit off (or maybe it doesn't, idk much about hands) and the arms look a bit weirdly positioned.

Aaand I thiiink this is the best out of your gallery (well out of your featured gallery, I'm not that hardcore of a stalker to look at eveeerything lool)

It's also really cold where I am... too cold :CĀ  And omg we have the same initials!! (on your signature)

Oh thank you! Yes, someone else already mentioned it in the forums to me that the shading of the arm and hand is not correct, it should be darker at the bottom, I will change it when I have time and feel like it xD Though I'm usually impatient and rather start a new drawing instead
The same initials, you mean MS?
