I love it!! You should try realism more often!! I love the detail and I can tell it took you a while to do. As for the skin I think it looks great! Now for a tip if you choose to take it. For skin tones use Yellow, Red and Black in that order. Use white to change the shade. I learned that from an awesome art teacher when I was a freshman in High school. Black is the secret ingredient. ^_^ I really don't think you need help though. Keep it up! I will definitely watch you in the future.

My attempt at painting realism. I like how most of it turned out, but I hate the coloring on her skin>( Since I have a limited amount of watercolors, I had to substitute some colors with others. The picture came from a magazine, though I dont remember which one....
Medium: Watercolor, colored pencil
Wow. O.O That's really good! The body ecspecially looks very realistic. The only thing I'd say is perhaps the hair could do with more highlights/shading - it doesn't look quite right against the rest of the picture. But I can't really talk, haha. :P Either way, love it - I want summer now!
