Hi Jazz ... A very nicely done illustration. I love the blurred softness & I think the color tones go well with the melancholy feel. Looks wonderful on the white background. As far as the hair ... I can't help you out, but one thing I know is I like this one alot.
Your endless talents never cease to amaze me ... keep 'em coming.
Hey Jazz!
Very different- I like it :) I actually think a darker colored background would suit the melancholy feel more, and maybe even make the girl stand out more... but that's just my opinion. Sorry, I can't help about the hair either- but nice job :)

Your endless talents never cease to amaze me ... keep 'em coming.
Great job Jazz. :-)
