Anime Character Drawing

This is one of the Chobits. I'm a fan of animes I love all the stories, I love the characters, I love the fantasy people created, I just simply love everything about animes. I took more than 12 hours working on just this piece.

This is the reference I used for the drawing. I drew on top of this picture, and I found out that I am still having problems with lines. I have to discover and practice more on how to produce fine lines.

Its the 1st time for me to draw characters using photoshop. So before I start, I had to do some research and watch some tutorials online on how to do the colouring. I did not follow 100% the way they did it I modified and combined it with some other tutorials I've seen. These are the major links I used as reference.
