This is nice work, Bruce. I like the red/green theme and she seems very believeable, in other words, good drawing.

But since you put it up for critique, I'll try:

1. her right eye (our left) seems to be a different size from its mate - you might want to check that.

2. The line of the vest around her neck bothers me: it feels tight and restrictive, different from the relaxed feel of the rest of the painting. It's also the place of highest contrast, so the eye is drawn to it.

Do you want the art critiqued using your photo reference to check the likeness?

Julie
