Well here's the final colored version of Jeiyla! Isn't it great?
This is the quickest I've thus far finished the coloring process in Photoshop. I probably finished it all in a couple of hours. I took a hint from and kinda took it easy on this one, and just kinda colored it more loosely. Didn't spend a whole lot of time on detail, but it turned out quite nicely in my opinion.
So what do you think? As always, comments and constructive critiques are welcome and appreciated! :]
Thanks! Drawing with the 0.5mm lead over a fainter col-erase sketch has worked well for me through the years. It allows me to get clean lines without the mess of sketching with another graphite pencil. That's the cool thing about the col-erase pencils: they don't smear. Saves a lot of trouble. ;]

Very nice job on the pose, cool character design. Considering the short amount of time you spent on the coloring, it looks quite nice (especially the blue you added to the shadows). I like the sketchier feel to it.
I think if you wanted to you could have pushed the range of contrast between the highlights and shadows. A couple of things on the anatomy--since she's not human, possibly you can disregard these suggestions if this is actually how her anatomy should be. First, her head is pretty big compared to her body. Also I think her lower torso is too short; the distance from nipples to belly button is usually the same as belly button to crotch, and here the lower torso is shorter in comparison.
Ooh, and I'm guessing the shiny armor is metal? It would be neat to see scratches or a texture on it of some sort X)
Thanks again for the crit! Yeah, this one was more of a sketchy kinda deal, so I didn't go all out on detail, but those are good suggestions! I do need to look at the torso area on my drawings from now on....I have a bad habit of misplacing the belly button. :] As far as texture goes, I'll remember that for the future! Thanks a lot. I'm pretty new to coloring, so it means a lot.
