Well, the client saw it online. She says her eyes are off. Well, of COURSE her eyes are off! Either that or the mouth. That is when you graduate, when there is something about the mouth that is off you have reached Sargent-dom!

I am happy you all like it.

I believe it is a value thing, not so much drawing. Her far eye is lighter so it seems starker. I think knocking the contrast back, as we would say in digital, would make them more alike. Hopefully this is not the first of many corrections mid course to come.
