Hi Patt,

I like your free use of color, and the way you've kept the focus on her eyes despite all that color floating around. The shadow on her face is interesting too, and you have nice free and varied brushstrokes.

I see different use of edges - that's good. I would question some areas, like her shoulders and hair, that seem too consistently soft. You could probably get some variety of edges in those places.

There's a shadow under her jaw that seems like maybe it was part of the original drawing? It doesn't seem to blend well with the other shadows there. It's an even gray tone on my monitor.

Unveilings are for any time you want to show something and don't care to have a critique. I don't think there's any specific criteria.
