nicely done. i like how you've done the washes, and yet still have the ink shading and it actually looks good. as for criticism, a little definition in the parasol would be nice. and (i am NOT an expert on this) im not sure about the hair. i think that if she were to use chopsticks, her hair would be tied in some sort of bun instead of mostly down. very nice job on the face though, its my favorite part. the glasses are a nice touch as well.

okay, first of all, geishas are japanese, not chinese.

the picture isn't bad. better paper would definitly make it better. the figure looks a bit stiff to me. maybe a few more folds in the kimono might help? also, you should add a few lines in the umbrella to show depth. keep up the good work. 3nodding

rolleyes that shows how much I know about that culture...like...nothing sweatdrop

and I did the stiff thing on purpose... cous I do know that those geisha's try to be perfect, like little steps when they walk and trying to get no folds in the cloting 3nodding and the umbrella... i'm was to lazy to figure out how the lines would go... shame on me rofl I'll do it next time 3nodding
