Hi Carlos -- I really like this!
The way you've captured the glow of the TV against the texture of her sleeves is especially nice! I'd have known she was watching even if you hadn't told us

Carlos,

Beautiful drawing! I love how the figure so naturally arises out of the toned paper. The degree of finish is perfect, and what a wonderful face! This is one to come back to again and again.

David

That's lovely, Carlos. I really like the highlights and the sense of the weight of the figure sinking into the settee. And I really like the solidity you have achieved through such simple strokes - excellent work!
