The strongest part of this is probably the contrast between the gradiant background and the image itself. i feel like the part that needs to be worked on is the clothing, and what i should do to improve on it is shade better and get the right composition of colors. i used the paint bucket tool, and the dodge and burn tools. i used these tools by first using the paint bucket to fill in the color then going back in with the dodge and burn to lighten and darken certain areas to add a shaded effect. i think the easy part was drawing it before i scanned it into the computer. i think the hardest part was the tracing since most of the lines are curved or very small. if i could do this again i would probably use a different pose or different clothing design. i think on a scale of 1-10 my effort was probably a 9, because i tried really hard to get the colors and design to the way i imagined it.
