CCS: Sakura Not bad
The colors are good, and I like that you let some original style seep into the drawing. There seem to be a couple different textural styles fighting each other though, so it looks a bit chaotic to me. The composition is pretty good and well balanced, too, but it's also a bit cliche.
Overall I like the experimentation, but the final result reads as if you spent most of the time drawing the head, then wanted to give the head a space to exist in so tossed in a quick body and an even quicker background. This kind of cheapens the quality of the face, which is the obvious star of the show.
I bet if you worked on ever part of the drawing equally you'd get a result that's way better. I know faces are interesting, but that's just because we humans spend so much time looking at them. Once you start looking at the trees and the pebbles in the road with the same care that you look at faces, you'll find them just as interesting to draw. :3
