Susan was a hoot, but she was darn difficult to draw...
She was dark skinned and lit dramatically. Her hair was no more than 1/4 of an inch and the shadow side of her head reflected light that was really fun to try to capture.
I struggled all night with this one and only came out with what I think is a mediocre result. It does look like her, but I am finding that I struggle with the positioning of the mouthbox and the bridge of the nose - those two features tie in as they are both on the centerline of the face and one recedes and the other projects.
But there are things about it I like - the neck area with the necklace in specific.
I think toning the board for her to begin with would have been a good idea since she was so dark to begin with.
