Hey, Carlos,

I gather from other posts that you may be disappointed at the dearth of response to this posting.

First, the summer seems really slow . . . I think a few artists are sneaking out to remember what leisure in the sun feels like. I have been absent (with leave) quite a bit myself.

Second, the Unveilings sections -- being off-limits for critiques -- often produce many responses of appreciation and admiration that do not actually get posted. It tends to be more of a gallery than a workshop. (Many members are shy about even commenting, much less critiquing.)

If you re-post this in Drawing Critiques, especially with your reference if not drawn from life, you'll likely find that responses will be more forthcoming.

It's a nice drawing, by the way. Any reservations I might have are about anatomical proportions, but I wasn't willing to make those observations unless I saw reference material that confirmed my intuition.

By the way -- to all members -- please don't be shy about using the Critiques area earlier, before you post a "final". Almost NO members will be comfortable making editorial suggestions on a piece that the artist considers "done," especially once it's been delivered to the client. I suspect that it's kind of an innate tenet of professional courtesy.
