Try to avoid the black outline if you're aiming for realism. Block in the general shape in a solid color, rather than coloring in an outline. Then work on shading that form.

Where to go? go? Don't go anywhere! SHe's awesome! I'm printing this out to put in my locker! Your _girlfriend_ did this? She must be extremely confident in her own body image! Kudos.

However, I agree with Tin. The lines will make people feel that the image is traced and then coloured like a colouring book. Although the colouring here is very nice.

As for a real answer to the question, I guess a suitable background would be good. A car wash, maybe? Um, with all those pockets, she must work for a telecom - perhaps she could be on a busy street adjusting one of those call box things. Or maybe a sewer? Hell, I think she stands quite well alone on a white background.
