Jean, this is a wonderful surprise. I really like what you have done so far. I hope you wont mind if I make a comment or two.

Some things to consider. You have light coming from the left and you have light coming from the right (the light on the hair). This is good and it presents a challenge.

Here is what I suggest that is if you fancy the thought. Spread the light that you have on the entire chest cavity. Also, bring the lights up just a little on the arm in shadow, her left arm the bicep and shoulder area. On the tricep and shoulder of the same arm introduce the same value you have on her chest but gradually to half tone and leaving the dark on the arm as it is. O yes,one more thing, I would think on adding more light on her hair in the shadow on her right side, our left. Maybe just a little and not as light as on her left side. I think doing this will make her head more solid looking. The highlight in her eye try not to make it to strong , give it a little mystery.

This will be top notch! Good for you!
