Anna, beautiful drawing.

When rendering form like an "ant crawling over the surface" like much of today's best realism, I do have one comment:

At a heavy squint, which drops you solidly in the realm of abstract design, of focus, of the simplest concept of how your values are dividing up spaces, the cast shadow of the head on the torso flattens the form conception of the oval ribcage. I'm curious whether this was intentional or one of the myriad sometimes working, sometimes not working, accidents of working from life? I enjoyed visiting your website.

Please describe how many sessions, etc. Too many newcomers expect this sort of excellence after one or two sessions.

It is a pleasure to see such serious study...
