Julie, thank you for your comments. I see that asymmetry in the nose area, and will correct that, thank you for pointing it out. I agree with your observation about the sleeves and will work on that also.

I really appreciate your taking the time to comment.

I can see that you used a photo to do this portrait. I notice some drawing points that I would like to check with your refference.

Claudemir, I was able to do much of the painting from life. I babysit this little girl, and she watches her favorite television show for a half hour each day. I was able to work on the painting at that time, and I also worked from photos. I don't have permission from her parents to post the photos.

I would be interested in hearing the drawing issues that you have noticed, other than the forementioned ones. Thank you.

Hi Eileen,

I would like to check her cheeks, zigomas, eyes and eyebrows, everything relating to each other. But after you correct her nose we will be able to see it more clearly.

Ps. But there's no big deal. She looks very good.
