Wow... I love viewing vexel portraits which are something new from the standard and this definately has a more unique look and feel to it.

The array of colours are fantastic, I love the contrasting colours in the background as well as the strong blues in her scalp... that's something you don't say everyday!

The theme is of course showing the contours and the edges of the shapes you've vexelled and it works very well with a bald head. However, with many of the lines over lapping. I feel that it would have looked better if you had have tried to avoid this. I think although the contour lines look great, I think they might be a bit too bold and these are enhanced further in the darker areas of the bald head. Maybe if the lines were thinner or even if they were a little darker.

There are some areas I feel could have been of benefit to a little bit more attention. For example where the neck meets the shoulder, there is a double white contour line and this would have been a bit better as a single line. The eyelashes I think should have went all the way down to the corner of the eye.

Other than these points, I think this is fantastic. The detail in the shading of the eye is fabulous and the lips... oh the lips. They look fantastic. The ear though has to be my favourite feature on this vexel. So many people avoid portraits for ears as they are very hard to master... and you have mastered it perfectly.

Brilliant work - keep it up

Omg, I can't believe that you actually did it .
First of all, thank you a lot! It makes me really happy!

This critique sure is going to help me with my next works, I paid attention to everything you wrote so thank you again. Since this only the 4th time I vector a person I still have very basic problems. Like that neck part you said. And about the eyelashes, the reference picture it's just like that and I didn't want to change it. I don't know, maybe I should.

About the lines, I have to work on that too but I don't know how, cuz I'm working with a very old version of PS and I have this problems with thin lines. I actually used "strokes" to make the contours.

Thanks again, i loved that you paid attention to the ear .

btw, sorry for my english, i'm working on it.
