good job! I really like the balance of the color as well as the dramatic lighting of the piece.

However, the rendering of the nose (or the perspective) seems a bit off from the face tho. The highlight of the face also makes it looks a bit 'poofy' on the cheeks, perhaps try a light shadow between the nose and the cheek, or move the highlight to the left a bit more. There is a sort of a surreal effect on the face.
It seems that you have a 3/4 view on the body, but profile for the face, which works, but the forshortening of the shoulder-arm needs to be worked on as well.

Overall its a very good digital painting! I would love to see more! :D :handsdown

I see a slight Van Gough <last name prolly spelled wrong> look to it, quite awesome tho, I dig the shading. Anything above painter 6 gave me problems tho > <

I got some problem with painter 8 too. The water color brush works so weird compare to 6. I can't get the translucent effect from it : / Right now if i want a marker effect all I cna do is throw it over to photoshop which is quite painful. any idea?
