Hi people.
This is a fan art of my favorite sailor ever. I don't have intention to draw her with her original appearence, though. I'm trying to reach sort of realistic representation of a manga character. What do you guys think?

looks good.. but i don't understand the lighting on her hand.
doesnt the light comes from the left?

Thanks for your reply NeFF. I was considering 2 light sources, one on right, one on left.

This is the final step.

I think its quite impressive. Very tidy and quite a lot of depth and dimension in places.

I'm not a fan of the background, I think it's making your work look dull. A simple black background would look better, just anything to make your character pop out rather than fade meekly away.
