Chris, I love the color and overall feel. Your drawing reminded me of Jean-Baptiste Greuze's work. In an article in Art and Antiques they had some drawings of his and commented how he was somewhat "shunned for drawing life's harsh realities". There are a few "pretty faces" among his work and others that are full of emotion. To me nothing is more thrilling when viewing a work that strikes a deep emotional feeling. It's almost like telepathy, you look at the drawn image and it speaks volumes of its life. That's what I call true talent!
