What is it you said to the kid? It ain't about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take and keep moving forward...
I just viewed your thread on Gaia. And I thought I would give my comment here.
First the good things: The pose, is lovely. Well planned, and done. You picked colors that work well with one another, and a background that wouldnt overshadow the subject.
Things you need to work on: Skin tones, profile of the female face, lighting, and, coloring.
You have a good understanding of some things, but others, not so much. Ill start with the female profile.
You have drawn her face to be very much like the side of a box. Flat, no curves after the nose. A womans face is curvy. Very little, if any, flat lines.
Skin tones. The skin has many different colors mixed into it. Blues, reds, purples, greens. You need to learn to paint with those colors. Not the burn tool. Not just one color. This goes for the clothes as well. And anything else you might do. They have many different colors in them too. Even if the item looks like it only has one color, it really has many. If you want to learn how to paint, you must learn how colors work, and how they bring life into the painting.
Your lighting here . Doesnt work I guess is the nice way of putting it. Your lighting her from many different places, and that makes it very confusing to the viewer. Also, it makes everything in the image look flat. There should be one, maybe two light sources. No more. (Until you have a better understand of light anyway.)

Please support the starving artists; they have started eating the oil paints again
A brand new monthly article which showcases some of deviantART's finest equine artists, as well as recognizing the lesser-known but equally talented ones. Interviews, helpful tutorials and features can all be found here too! I hope you enjoy it.
The idea of this contest is to set you up completely blind with a mythical being - from any world culture - and turn you loose to come up with a deviation based around it!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More

If I say something that could be taken in more than one way, and one of those ways is offensive to you, I meant it the other way.
