A couple of things that bothered me have already been mentioned; the eye and the shadow behind her. I'm gonna take a pic of mine at eight hours, and most will be thinking "Dang, how are you going to save that?"
Have you seen the work of Jane Lund, her work is hard to find on the net. You might find some poor quality ones, but I remember an article on her in maybe the Pastel Journal and they had good pics. Anyway, her stuff was very detailed. I believe some could take up to 18 months to complete. I think. This kinda reminds me of it, but 17 months, 29 days, and 16 hours quicker.
You rock!

Jimmie, Jimmie, Jimmie, YOU ROCK (and you are funny) and if there is one thing I know about you in this short but pleasant experience so far, it's that you always do "save" it. In fact, yours never seem in any danger. Never. Thanks. I am definitely going to put in the darker shadow near the shoulder and I will revisit the eye. Sometimes I just get sick of these "practice" things though and I want to chalk it up to experience albeit short and sassy.
You know, as you draw you are probably humming a tune, pacing yourself, thinking in depth about your composition (which shows) and enjoying the experience while I listen to music most people at my age laugh at it's so obnoxious, drink soda like it's going out of style (no caffeine though) and color at a pace that would make you think I just saw a ghost or worse. It's almost like a disease. I think by doing more than vignettes I will add lots of time to my pieces. Maybe one day I will spend a week on one! I shudder at the thought but there is still hope.
Hey, thanks. Your comments always brighten my day.
