I really adore this one! You have a very cool sketch style--I particularly like how the main part of this image seems nearly completed, but the bottom, like the legs, seem to be in the barest sketch stages. It's really amazing--it shows how you start your sketches and how you finish them all in one part.

I think the pose is a really good one--it captures the feeling of closeness between the characters, and their expressions convey that feeling quite well. I love their eyes. Beautiful! The shading on their jewelry is so well done! I also enjoy the hair, but the dark spot down beside her face seems amiss. Her bangs seem short enough that they wouldn't go down that far, and a little white space there would prevent this image from having a slightly crowded feeling in that area. Make sense?

Very nice sketch, tho--I definetly like this. :) Gotta check out the rest of your gallery now! Oh--and I'm Li-chan from the message board. Hajimemashite and all that jazz. :)
