Description
I couldn’t draw digitally since too long it seems haha and I felt a bit rusty.
Here’s the amazing Ciri from Witcher 3 (she’s so beautiful !), I used references from the game, during cinematics (and damn, I’m really bad with the battle system)
I’ll post other drawing before the end of the year, but I think it’ll be my last digital from this year because I don’t have much time haha, but I do hope to draw many many more in 2017 !!

Hi, I found your deviation through weekly commenting for
The details in this image are really marvelous! Wow!
You've done a great job on her skin. You can look at it a imagine skin texture, almost feel it. I could almost feel skin against my fingertips by looking at this. That's some great depiction of skin right there! Similarly I feel that I know what her hair texture is simply by looking at your image. Her shirt also has the great appearance that suggests texture and tells me what it would feel like if she was real. If we figure 2D art is about casting such illusions, your image is doing a great job at it.
There are a few details that could use a little more time and attention. The main on that popped out at me is her teeth. You can't see much of them like this, but it looks like she has one big incisor tooth instead of one. Based on where your lighting appears to be coming from and the values of this lighting, I think there are a couple places at the corner of the eye and under the jaw where there would be some darker shadows. Your base that you have right now is good. I think just a little more at a couple of these places would help this stand out even more. Another thing is that her eyebrows appear very dark compared to how light her hair is. Admittedly I have yet to finish the first game let alone play the third, so I am not sure if her eyebrows are dark in the game or not. If you're going for realism though, her eyebrows would be much lighter than they are here.
I hope this comment is somewhat helpful. Have a lovely evening and keep making beautiful art

I really love how this piece looks; you say that you felt rusty, but to me this looks like an amazing piece, you really did a good job conveying the character's likeness. I'll point out a couple of criticisms here, but all around this looks like a solid piece.
First of all, it's very difficult for me to really qualify, but I feel like there's something amiss with her eyes. I feel like there aren't enough dark value's in her eyes to offset the lighter values, which make the eyes feel kinda empty in a way. All around I can say that I feel like you've done a good job in dividing the values, but if you'd use the really dark values a bit more you can get a bit more contrast going in your painting. Right now, your background is around the darkest value in your painting. Even just adding some dark values to a few small part can really improve your contrast and make your painting 'pop' more. At the same time I feel like with her hair you could go the other way. Ciri of course has very white hair. The way you painted her hair here does a good job of conveying the texture of her hair, but the main color/value of her hair is lost somewhat. By lightening the general values of her hair and even lightening the shadows you painted in her hair you can lighten the value of her hair without losing the texturing and rendering you did, which looks great. This again would also improve the contrast in your painting, because (especially with the darker background) her hair would really draw the attention of the audience.
As a minor side note I'd really recommend adding some more details about your decision making during your painting in your artist's comments; for example I'm really curious why you decided to paint this in greyscale; it could be because you're just practising your values and don't want to be bothered by the colors while you do that, or it could be a creative decision. Either way works, but providing your audience with context can help them empatize more with you as the creator and make them enjoy your artwork more.
Again, I really love this piece and I hope you'll find my comment useful to further improve your art! Happy 2017 and keep up the good work!

This first caught my eye because of it's detail and realism. You did a great job of making it look realistic and even photographic, while also putting some of a unique style into it, which I quite like in artists. The lighting is also well done and not too over the top or underdone, and you did a great job on the face. It looks quite painterly while also portraying a lot of emotion, especially in the eyes, and the freckles on her face, which I normally find hard to pull off in black and white paintings, are a nice touch.
There are some things I would critique. I think you could have put more detail into the hair, as especially up close, you can't see the individual strands, and it looks strange next to the face which has more detail in it. You can fix this by using a smaller brush size or even just putting more shadows into the hair to make it look more three dimensional and realistic. Sometimes the hair strokes look a little bit too messy, and will break off or fade away in places that don't seem natural and make the picture look too digital. It's a good idea to look over your drawing and make sure nothing like this sticks out, so you can fix it and make it look more natural and cleaned up.

The subtile diffences in those shades of gray are maybe not obvious but give this lady a spark of life

Hey,
first of all I want to say that I really like this piece, and any negative aspects I will point out here are minor details. I had to look up some Ciri references to be able to judge here, but I think you captured her overall appearance very well. You definetely know how to paint, the lighting and shading of her skin is on a very high level. I also like the fact that you only roughly shaped the clothing and the hair, so that the viewer's eye is attracted to her face mostly.
However, as I mentioned earlier, I have some minor issues with this piece. First of all, I think her hair could have stronger highlights. That might be just a personal bias of mine as I like strong lighting, but I feel that as her hair is light grey, even close to white, it should be at least as light as her skin on the entire areas where the light hights (meaning on the top of her head).
Second thing I wanted to talk about are the dots on her skin. I realize you wanted to create a bit of skin texture, imperfections and such, and to some extent you achieved that, but:
1. I think you should've done that on a multiply layer, so that the dots would be darker in the darker areas so they wouldnt stand out that much.
2. The pores on the nose are not that visible in reality, nor do they go as high as to the eyebrows. The areas where the skin has most texture are under the eyes, the tip of the nose and around the mouth.
Third thing, I'd like to mention are the eyebrows. That is probably the least important thing on my list, and it's really nitpicking, but I feel like she has the eyebrows of a man. That's partially because they are so big, partially because the contrast between them and the surrounding skin is so high.
That's all I wanted to point out. As I said, mostly these are just details, but I feel like I should address them so you could consider this in your next painting

Hi ! Thank you so much for your comment ! 
Sorry, I answer a bit late ! ><
I tend to like strong hightlight as well and I guess I have the bad habit even more for the hair ahah it's a good point to keep in mind, thanks !
For the dots, it's because she have beauty spots, it's a bit hard to find on picture but through the game you can really see them (and it's kind of cute ahah), so they're not pores ! Although, I could define them more
Oh and for the eyebrows you're right too. I made really strong eyebrows, but she have a really strong gaze that I wanted to keep and since her eyebrows are really dark I wanted to keep that. But I understand what you feel about them and it's a bit strange because ahha I kind of agree and kind of thing they should be strong in the same way ahha I think perhaps I detailled a bit too much the eyebrows's hair it makes it a bit more mainly hmmm
Anyway ! Thank you so much for the things you came with ! It's really interesting for me !

I never really tried to paint beauty spots (or marks?) in a black and white painting, so I can only imagine it's hard to get it right. As you dont have color, it is quite easy to mistake them for sth else. I guess, you could achieve a better look by slightly blending in the edges of those spots into the skin, as most beauty spots do not pop out of it immediately.

she's gorgeous! I adore her hair... it looks nice in the grayscale! That cheek shading stands out to me as it makes her seem more gentle!

The trait is very smooth and flowing, ok that it's digital, but the skin seems so soft-looking. Her hair too are amazing, as with her eyes, they seem to really shine. The only complain I could do is the nose, in the upper portion it seems quite rigid.
