Nice on this one Jesuel. I love the darks and lights. High contrast values really give it a punch.
My favorite part is the buttocks. You have captured that soft curve really well. Nice job!
Her hair and the pose is solid and well done.
The part that needs some touch up is the face. Her nose and eyes are not quite there. A little off if you know what I mean. Getting the face right is always hard because as humans we know what it should be because we see them everyday (unless you are a hermit.)
I would touch up that area, but overall its a great piece.

Your use of light and dark shading has created a clear and well formed piece.
The shape is clear and the picture lovely.

I love the lighting in this piece. It makes the figure glow with the soft light of stars. She is well drawn and sensual. The dark background is perfect. The expressive strokes that created her hair give her a mussed just got out of bed look.

She is beautiful! The background is perfect for this piece. I love how you did her hair. Her eyes seem to look straight at the viewer and your shading is perfect. Beautiful piece.

Cool,James!
She makes me think of how certain members of the Unseeley Court of Faery look while projecting their Glamour at an unwary human!
Mysterious and Interesting!
