Julie,

You really knocked my socks off with this one!

One comment if it isn't too late, I think you can shave a little off the cheek to our left, the one away from the viewer. Just a little.

Otherwise the skin color and composition you put together is wonderful. I saw the pictures and you have done a great job on a chubby but attractive subject.

HI Sharon -

No - it's not too late. And - thanks for the compliment!

Julie,

Beautiful job! And those hands!! They are simply...masterful.

Julie,
My yes, this is your finest work to date. Very good job flattering her just the right amount.
The only thing I noticed that I might change is the intensity of the flowers. They just seem a little dull to me in comparison to the original photo. On the other hand, you may not want to draw attention away from her sweet face.
Either way, fantastic work there gal!

Julie, you did a beautiful job on this and flattered your model at the same time.

Thanks, everyone. Heidi, you guessed correctly - I deliberately dulled down the flowers - I felt they were too bright a pink and competed for attention too much in their original colors.

Julie, just noticed it, great job. Everything looks so well handled. I would tho, appreciate if you could post a closeup of the face. There's something about the eyes, they don't feel like they're staring at me. They look like they're staring just a bit away. You know how when you walk around a painting, the eyes follow you around the room, I'm not feeling that. It could just be a need for a closeup, I've had drawings not have that stare when viewed too small on a monitor.

Other than what could just be a monitor thing, congrats and good luck with the ad.
