Pat,

You've done a great job with this, best yet. I agree with Michele about the contrast, but still think that if you measured the whole picture's contrast based on how dark you made the top of her head, there is room for adjustment through out the drawing. Or you could always lighten the top. :o Okay, I'm kidding. It could just be much different on screen than the original, but playing with contrast would make this stand out.

Christine was finished last night and I have posted it in Unveilings. I want to thank all of you for your encouragement and support and suggestions. You really push me to polish my pieces and sometimes that last bit of attention to detail is what I fear the most.

This is my art community and I am so grateful for all of you!
