I am not good when using colors , i dont know how to choose well contrastin shades and hilights , and i am also finding trouble in figurring out a color theme for this one , i was thinking an off white dress , but i cant get it like i want . Any tips please =) . I have Painter and Photoshop . Oh i'll also work on her left side (your right) .

Well, knowing that the skin and clothes will be fairly light and desaturated. it might be a good contrast to do the background in dark natural tones, maybe shades of green, or brown.

First though, I would either get more pencil work in it, or add some ink, so that you can establish your light source before you add your colors.

I'd love to add some color to that myself, if you gave me permission.

Just a critic : the girl's pretty, but her arms are a bit too long. I don't know how to exprim that in English (eeerr... I'm french... and I don't have a translator near me...) but someone else could probably tell you how it has to be.

For the colour, think of what you want to say or to show, and choose the right colours... It depend on your sensibility, and on many other factors...

Try to make several version, using different colour, and think of what they make you feel.

Also, I think her face is a little flat.

I like it though! She's pretty!

4nton : Thanks for the tips , but i dont know any color theory , not even the basic , so i dont know about saturation . But please do try and color it as you wish .

Jep : I do wanna try to show the feeling through the color , but i am weak at colors , about the arms i'll see if changing them would make it look better

Qwert : Thanks , its more of a style though than flat
