I actually think the braid looks really good! I'm terrible at braids. I haven't tried them since I started and they were pretty crummy, so I haven't tried them since. Maybe I will on my next doll. Thanks for the inspiration. =P
Other than what Bella already said, I have one critique and another that's more of a personal opinion. 1, shade under the hair line. Use the darker colours in the skin palette to shade under the hair. Here's a quick diagram I made:
2, the colours you used are a little dull. Brighter colours seem to grab more attention. The colours you used might be fine though, because I'm on my laptop, which has issues in making colours lighter/duller. But if they are, still remember this in the future. =P
