The special feature of this drawing is that it took me a lifetime to finish it, and even now, although it is done under the most of the points, I still hate it to death. The only reason I finished it is because I do not throw away any drawing I do, good or bad it is ... I keep them, they could serve! Now the reason why I kept this one .. I liked the eyes and the right side of the hair. I started drawing it just after "Making Mirrors", so then almost a year ago ... now I can say "end".

Overall Vision Originality Technique ImpactMy initial view of this drawing was that it was quite striking and well done. However, the longer I looked at it, the more a few problems became evident:
- The eyes are not level and one is much more open, making the gaze very uneven (this may or may not be because she actually looks that way. I don't know, but it still looks very odd.)
- The placement of the neck in relation to the right side of the face is off (or if her hair was meant to be covering her neck, that was incorrectly portrayed). Normally in a full-face portrait, the entire neck is visible, so this makes the head look askew. Either the neck should have been wider, or her face is too wide on the right, or her hair should be altered to show that it is covering the neck.
- Some of the hair is much too thick (especially the light section on the left).
Having said that, this is still a very strong piece. Your shading is smooth and effortless, and I agree that the right side of the hair is beautiful. The mouth is very nicely done (although the dark line could be softened a bit). The general composition is striking and well-executed. I think you should be proud of a job well done.
