Michael, I really like the tonal contrast of lights and darks in her hair and skin, very nice range of values.

Hi Michael! This is full of emotion and she leaves the audience wondering if there is a story behind those eyes.

Michael, you sure know how to draw! Technically great, plus a lot of powerful emotion.

Thanks so much for all the nice comments! I have another pencil work I will be doing of a different pose with her.. similar to the pose I am using in the painting. This whole project has been a labor and a lot of fun. You know.. you get a vision and you go and make a few steps... it evolves, this works and you find out that doesn't. Creating the costume was fun. Again, thanks!
