Gorgeous, gorgeous picture. I love the dynamic use of color you've put all over, from the color of her hair to the red and yellow background. I really love her eyeliner too...
Her hands are a bit off though, like the hand that's out is a little too close to the camera, and her other hand looks a bit broken. The straps on her shit look almost glued to her shoulder, too...But those are fairly minor things, I think.
The details in the other things, along with the dynamic use of color, REALLY make it stand out though. Anyone who sees this is definitely going click it, I think. It's incredibly beautiful, and that alone will be enough for anyone to not notice the picky details. Divine work.
Overall this is another good deviation, there's a lot of cuteness and energy, which is good. Plus she stands out really awesomely against the background. It caught my eye as I was browsing through the critiques page.
So one of the things that I noticed was her hand. This was mentioned in another critique, it seems unnatural the way she has it positioned. But I'd like to go a little more in depth with an explanation of the hand. Alright, so if you were to hold your hand out to a person like she is, you'll notice that your hand for the most part only goes down. Your fingers can go in all sorts of crazy directions, however it stretches them out (which feels good), so it is possible to draw crazy fingers, so thats not really a problem. But really no matter how you position your hand, you'll won't be able to replicate that hand. And here's why.
The way you drew the thumb. With the way that you drew her hand, her thumb would be facing towards her hair. If you were to move her thumb about 90 degrees to our right, then the hand would look natural. If you were to reposition the thumb, then her pose would be picture perfect.
The only other thing that I really notice, is that maybe you should have added some more wrinkles in the clothing towards her hand. That area of her shirt looks like its a little flat compared to the rest of the deviation.
Again, another wonderful piece, keep up the awesome work.
