That's the lady that my image is based off of, though not the same images (her head being turned more in the second image being one reason). Head's not drawn too small. Not going for her skin tone either, just using her body size as a reference point.
Anyway, I'm trying to work with the least amount of colors I can get, but still keeping vibrant colors to make it look good, so if you all would be able to suggest better hue variations, I'd like that. Currently I've been working on a 'web' palette for the colors, so, again, if you would be able to suggest a better selection of colors and keep it below 22 for hair and skin, then I'll be more than happy to change the colors.
About the feet, she'll have heels eventually, so that's why there's a tip-toe look.
On to the face, as a couple doll people do (the one's who aren't hip enough to make up their own drawings) the face isn't an exact copy of the reference..so facially, while her eyes, nose and mouth are placed exactly where the reference's would be according to scaling, they're different shapes.
About the skintone, again, like I said, I'll be glad to change it up, but would you have any suggestions on what colors would be a wiser selection for a limited amount of colors? (I personally would love to find a way to work in 16 colors, but meh)
Also EyeCraft, I'm pretty sure your edit would look fine without the intense "I'm old" cheekbones (Y)
And then finally to reiterate, the CC I'm asking for isn't on the lines, but the shading inside them; that currently being on her face, of course.
