Thanks guys. as for the pauldron i removed. It just didn\'t work

i added detail, i colored it. it just wasn\'t cooperating. but now she looks sort of.. erm.. naked so ill have to give her a shirt/armor or cut of neck down, wich id rather not do.
Here is a speedy, and crappy shading i did just second ago. It is about 12 at night here, and im tired.. so dont look too close b/c the light source is all messed up... i have shadows in all directions

not to mention its sloppy. but its good for a quick glance! :]

anyways ill probably redo shading tomarrow after a good nights sleep. i need the practise.
If any of you artists out there are willing to perhaps... take me under your wing so to speak. i would be overjoyed. as I\'m interested in digital coloring and shading, and line art too, but im ok at that.
I take art at school (9th grade) and i think i know more than the teacher

im putting myself out here trying to learn anything i can. and i made this thread for constructive critisism, and questions. so far so good. Im taking this all the way through, rain sleet snow or hail! Thanks guys!
EDIT) If there are no major qualms, i beleive i have the final version! EDIT2) grr.. forgot the eyes.. guess ill go do that. oh If anyone has an interesting idea for background. please say so. as well as a garment for this poor woman.
(EDIT) Ive made changes to the shoulder.. it was a bit too large, see wich one you guys like better

if you pick the second one, no more major changes can be made except background and tweaks to the eyes, because i had to merge all the layers to make the adjustments.
