When I first saw this pic, I was so mad that you were better at using markers than I was--and had had them for such a shorter amount of time! I'm really, REALLY impressed with the shading in this image--it's really gorgeous. I need to learn how to do that. ::pokes:: Teach me, darnit! The pose itself is SO CUTE! SO SO SO CUTE! Nali just looks so sweet and innocent--the pillow is the perfect touch. I really love her exprssion!
As for things that can be improved on, your inking is still a little 'meh.' In a few areas, the markers bled out of the lines--but of course, you are too lazy to copy your images onto the awesomeness that is Bristol, so that's what you get! ::laughs:: Uhm, I should teach you my inking technique sometime--and you should use it. :) Covers up splotches nicely.
She's very cute. The shading looks great. The use of the a lighter color or darker in shading really gives your picture vivid image.
