I too went immediately to your site. Better hurry and reply so I can go look around more.

Do you know what struck me about this (aside from the incredible painstaking detail)? I felt like I was looking at a color piece! Is it only me? It really gave me the feeling of color-unlike any other graphite work I have seen.

Excellent work, Isabel. You must be a very patient person on top of your great skill.

Wow.

Isabel, I love this piece. You have such a sophitication in your vision, as well as execution. Would you think about a step-by-step mini demo of your process?

Wow -- such living texture, especially in the hair and sweater. I also like the mystery of the model's expression.
