Difficult colored pencil portrait

[Carolyn Ortiz]

I would be putting it in the critique section but it was sent away last month (as a gift) before I found this Forum.

I know there are a ton of problems with it. I really need to practice so I can try to make a living by accepting commissions, but I'm afraid I'm not good enough yet. Hopefully the practicing will go well!

And I just want to thank you all on this Forum! You have inspired me so much! Your words and your works have made me get my oils back out, which I haven't used for a couple years! I have been so unsure about pursuing this work, but this site has inspired me to try again!

Thank you Cynthia Daniel and EVERYONE!

B.T.W. this is colored pencil.
