OMG! Your skills with photoshop is Amazing!! 0.0 Love her outfit!! And I adore the way you shaded/colored her hair!! Really awesome work here!! And the simple background is so effective!! And the way you shaded her eyes is so pretty!! Epic piece her!! Keep up the amazingness! =]
Wow your rather talented on working with photoshop to colour and use brushwork! Your shading looks good- and so does your highlighting.
I must agree with Vacuum over there that yoru hair does sort of look out of place. The white streaks aren't carred around as much as they should be, and there is a minamal amout of darkness in it.
Great image- and wounderful colouring/photoshoping in the designs on the kimono. Your highly talented and I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Wow this is really pretty. Amu looks older and she looks really pretty. I wish spring would get here soon. I love Amu's kimono. It looks so pretty. You did a really great job on thisThis is such a pretty artwork

This is soooo pretty! Great job! I've never watched the shoe either....But I think she looks great. ^ ^
Well I can't think of any tips and it seems as though the people below me have given enough tips. ^ ^

The eyes are shoujo-y, but giving her larger pupils would probably help. Tiny pupils tend to signify that the character is crazed or evil. Big pupils are a cue that the character is supposed to be young, cute, girly—those sorts of things.
The hair looks fine un-outlined. I think I'd outline the hair clip, though.
The background lends a lot to the image, as well. Light enough so as not to be overwhelming, but still "there" enough to add some color and ambiance.
weee!! spring~!!! =D
i'm so excited for it!!
no more snow, no more ice, no more freezing wind!!!!!

and i think her eyes are VERY shoujo-enough XD
and the swrals look really nice too on the kimono
the thing i'd suggest (and i need to follow this advice too =__=)
is thattt.. you sould make the clothing designs you add on (i.e. the swarls) match with the clothing folds
so, for example, in the right sleaves..sleafes(?).. damn, forgot how to spell, but i hope you kow what i mean
in there, you've got around 2 long lines, and 2 short lines as the folds right? but your swural is continuous throughout the folds, as if you just pasted the design on the drawing
what you can do iss.. (wow, this is really hard when i cant show you with pictures lol)
is you can dislocate the design a bit..
...for example, instead of having one continuous swural ling, make it disjoint at the point where your clothing fold line is
..but yeah.. that usually takes some attention to details
and lazy people (like me) always forget lol
overall this picture looks great, so it's kinda hard to find a critism to it =___=
i did my best

Hey Fun-chan!
saw you wanted some critique so here I am.
First off, love the eyes! They are still you style but still shoujo, love it.
The kimono is gorgeous, love the way it fades to pink at the bottom, and the swirls are a great touch.
I like how you did her hair, but I think it could use to be outlined in pink or something, I kind of lose teh hair a bit.
Also looking at your sketch and how you said she looks younger in it, its because in the sketch you have her hair down around her face, and in this one you pulled it back into the bun, I've found that if you want to put something in, its always better to do it on the sketch, then you can make adjustments as needed.
