Description Imagine if all those times we felt our heart break, we physically broke too?

Just another style imitation. I think it's a progression from last time? Critique would be great!

The style reminds me of those old "Bratz" dolls.

Very cool! 
I fell like you've really refined the facial structure in this one and I like where you've taken it
I like the hair especialy,
As for improvement, hmm. I don't use black an awful lot because it can really wash out the warmer colours, skin would almost never fade to back (like under her neck) and I probably wouldnt put a line around her lips, but that can be a style choice Do you flip the image as you work? Her eyes are a little mismatched.
But overall a great piece, and I look forward to seeing more work from you!

Aw, seriously thank you! It's pretty hard to get helpful critiques on here :') 
Hmm okay, I shall take that on board! I've read about not using white/black whith shading and highlighting, just need to try and impliment it more :3
And no >.< I don't really know why I've never used the flip canvas thing, it's probably just because I'm horribly lazy aha ^^'
I shall try my best in future!

The texturing on the hair looks amazing, although there is a spot near her left (our right) eyebrow where you seemed to have erased a bit of her hair. Since it's near the focal point it's very noticeable. However it really looks good and the flow is continuous.

The neck appears to be either too thin or too long, I'm not sure which it is, but I would suggest making a harder edge at the bottom and possible extending it back, like add more skin on the right if that makes sense.

Finally, I think her features are lovely, the eyes nose and lips look beautiful, but I think the blending of the skin is done too softly.  Try using a harder edge brush at around... say 80%? or whatever settings you had when you did the lips! That might make it look a little more harmonious. 

All in all Good job I hope you keep going!

Ahh, thanks for pointing that out! Missed it completely :')

Okays, I did have problems trying to sort the neck out, it was a bit of an afterthought, but I agree completely. 

I do tend to overuse the water tool ;___; I shall try and make it a little more.. painty(?) in future, if that even makes sense. 

Thank you so much! I mean, it's lovely to get nice comments but critique is so important, can't improve if I keep making the same mistakes!
