Hey man, sorry I haven't seen this earlier. I like the colouring you've done. It seems to me that the lighting looks a bit off, though. I can tell you tried to add shadows where appropriate (like for the chair legs), but going from pure b+w to color is tough.

I can tell that the main light is to her left, but there is also an ambient light source behind and to her right. So the big black shadow on her right arm seems off to me. Also, you have very strong highlights on both sides of her face.

I like the circles of light you made around the model; breaks up the negative space nicely. I also like the texture you gave the background, but not so much the background you chose. The photo-realistic background doesn't jive well with the rest of the piece. It's also too light.

If the model was really in that type of setting, it would be near impossible to get the strong black shadows you see because the light would bounce off the floor, curtains, and everything else. Thus, you would have fewer strong shadows and more mid-range ones.

In no way am I insulting your art, nor saying that you suck or anything like that. I just like to be more specific when I comment about the art because I know (from personal experience) that in-depth constructive criticism is necessary to take one's art to the next level.

Lemme know what you think.

-So what are you really then, your thinking or your proving?

That's a nice work, indeed.
