Note the bow and other minor things are not completed. This is 10 x 8 (the largest I will do these) with sumi'e ink on Strathmore 500 series paper.
I found that my eye traveled to her face immediately when I blocked my view of her arm and covered the dark shadow on the bow with my mouse cursor. When I unblocked the arm, my eye was pulled there, so I would say you will probably need some tone on the arm. You said the bow was not finished, so I am sure the pull of the dark area on the bow will get resolved as it is modeled as you indend.
