That is so beautiful. If it weren't for the hair, I would have thought you had painted it.

Man, the coloring here looks really nice. It captures not only the shape of the face, but also some of the natural unevenness of skintones in a stylized way...

Fantastic highlight and shadow placement, really gives an excellent and rounded 3D sense to it. Very very neat, doubly so if it was on a tired stretch into sleep! Always fun to see you test new things and styles, hopefully it turns into something that you like enough to want to try again in the future!

Jeez, I wish I could color as good awake as you do tired.

Woah, I'm glad I didn't go to bed yet!
Thank you so much for the compliment, and I'm really glad you saw those comments and were flattered/inspired.
This is super cool, looking! Probably the most realistic face I've seen from you ever. I'm really blown away by this!
It's very sincere looking, like you're giving a mature, mentor-like "you're doing good, kid" look, you know? At the same time, it's almost like you're looking weary and tired out. You should take this weekend to really rest and give yourself some relaxation, you really deserve it.
The way you drew the hair with less detail really draws your eyes right into the center too, and makes the eye contact even more prominent, which is a great effect, even if the hair was drawn like that because you wanted to focus on the face. Also, those lips are as impressive as always.
I want to say more words about this, but I'm sad to say that I can't think of anything else. It's very pretty, and I'm glad to see more wonderful art from you!

I am in awe of your skills, Maki. I still have much to learn u_u
(did you use a reference for this? It's so realistic, man, I got to repeat myself there!)
-and with that, I sleep as well.
