I love those brushes you used, and the colours, but it would be nice not to have the patterns over her face. Use a soft brush eraser or something over her face on that layer.

If you want more people to critique you, you should post an updated version of the blend thumbsup.gif

She means to shift the images to the right, the top images. Oh and now you have some other textures on her face. Just stay away from textures on faces in general.

Lol, maybe it's just me then. Any textures at all on faces distract, imo. It does look better :D

I think your edit looks better but it still kind of bugs me that you have a white paisley brush on her neck in the second image at the top. But it's pretty!

better?
thing is; i feel like if i move the image on the left too close, its like, hiding behind the other picture's hair, and i'd have to move everything closer together, but i think it looks better like..more spaced out that like that?

idk.. is there anything else that i need to change? :)

i toned down the brush a bit, too.

That's really pretty for a first blend. It is a bit awkward in spots (the bottom two pictures, specifically). I don't like when body parts get cut off in a weird way. Also, the pinwheel/spiral/flower/whatever brush on the left side really throws it all off for me. Everything else is elegant-ish and it doesn't really fit.

Looks nice for a first blend, I like it. The colors and brushes are pretty good. Your edits are also a lot better, but I agree with Christy, move the top left one just a wee bit more to the right. thumbsup.gif
