Nicely done and very expressive, Sandra. The forms are well-executed. The color is odd, but I'm assuming that's due to your reference photo. But why are you using pictures from magazines? If you turn out a masterpiece that way you won't be able to display it because of copyright issues. What about recruiting family and friends as models instead?

Hi Sandra,
Each feature is nicely and expressively rendered, and I like how you handled the very pale skin tone. What I am wondering about is the overall proportions of the head. The height to width ratio seems extreme, and the upper skull seems narrow in relation to the jaw width. This seems to make her eyes look close-set. You might check this against your reference.
