Description "Whisper in the wind, and your message will be carried far away."

I think I've done my fair share of art for today. My eyes are starting to burn after looking at such bright colors for such a long time..and my wrists are killing me from holding my pen so much. At least I was productive!

(UPDATE: I reworked some of the colors to make it "flow a bit better. I also redesigned the color to be more colorful to blend in with the rest of the bright color scheme. Also, I fixed her hair to make it look not so crappy.)

I really love the colors, the flow, how everything seems to mend into one, and the feeling I get when looking at this piece. It makes me feel calm, unaware of anything else around me. If I had to point out something you need to work on it would be the flow, it's good, for beginning... but if you want to catch more attention you should work on that a bit more. All in all I think it's a lovely piece & I personally would want a piece like this on a wall in my house. Good job & good luck :]

Thank you for the critique.
As something I really need to focus on working to better, I'd have to say hair is my weakest point.
The hair does put the piece off a bit. The top half doesn't seem to flow right with the rest of the swirls and such. And I will admit that once I got to the kimono painting, I was tired and bored. Maybe another day, I'll go back and rework it.

Thanks.
I guess I'm just trying to devote more time to my art.
I'm a traditional artist...so getting used to digital takes some work.
