First of all lovely picture. The way you did with the background and shading is awesome. But you have a little problem with the neck. It looks as if it was too long. I like the expression, as if it gives some sort of a longing expression. I'm also impressed with the way you did with the hair, and how the way it flows. The background may be simple, but very cute and fitting. And I'm quite impress on the way you did with the pen. It's very flawless. All in all, wonderful job. This is very outstanding, outstanding indeed.
