I actually put a round gradiant of white up in the top right corner of the image, and added a blending mode, so that it would give the illusion of sun on her face (lol or at least thats what I was TRYING to do), and Then I put a burnt paper texture over the entire image, to make it a little more rough, so it would be more outorrsey or somthing lol i tried

oh wow this one is differnt. i really like how you mastered to do the hair... some african american hair is hard (specially if its all frizzy). This one is really good. ^_^

no problem. Sometimes i noticed the littlest things ^-^. she really looks african american. you pulled it off :)
Reply from shizneb
OMG thank you! THANK YOU! for knowticing that...Ugh, The hair was the hardest part of this whole thing, I just couldnt seem to get it right, but finnally I got lazy and tried somthing else, and oddly enough, it was the righter choice...

but ugh, thank you for knowticing that, cus that particular part gave me hell.

this might be one of my favourite ones. very pretty.. i like that you went away from the white skin!
Reply from shizneb
Thanks, I am happy that I whent away from the white skin as well, I saw everyone elses, and they were ALL so good, and I wanted mine to stick out, even it wasnt the best, I just wanted it to be differnt, and this was the first Idea that came to me :)

Im glad that people like the idea :)
