Hey Lucia,
This is great! But I also think it could be improved a bit. I'm an art teacher so I hope you'll forgive a little constructive criticism. For instance, their limbs are looking a little doll-like; if you refer off of the Abbey Road vinyl cover, you'll see that their limbs are actually a little more bent. And I think you can add a bit more detail to their hands and face.
I love how you use the side of the pencil to make the shading in this piece. I'd accentuate that, and rely more on the pencil marks themselves to fill in your objects. Outlining things in colored pencil and then shading them in is a little too easy I think, especially for a contest entry. It's something little kids do a lot. The more you draw, the more you realize that the pencil itself is capable of so many more marks. The rougher the pencil mark, the more beautiful it will look.

Uuh Lucia,
I like that. Simply. :D I like the colours most. They are vivid and bright but not too hard. And I do not think that it is too simple. I's reduced, that's the thing. It's like a caricature, capturing the most important features of the original photo. If one wants details, one can watch the photo, so I don't think it is obliged to draw a picture that is exactly like the photo. I like this personal style better.

It's cute, I like the unrealistic look of it. The colours are indeed very awesome.
