Beautiful work Mike. Very well done, good use of values and the hair is stellar. Great job!

WOW! The hair is amazing. The sunglasses are stunning, it's a difficult angle but you sure did an excellent job with it. I love the use of light and shadow. Excellent job :thumbsup:

Let's see, what can I point out that hasn't been rightfully praised already....

The depth of field rendered in the nostril is awesome!

Hey Mike, this is a beautiful portrait!! Did you keep it or did she take it? Just curious. Very nicely done. Looks to me like she is just enjoying a great time sitting looking out. :)

Bless you. IRma
P.S. I dare not pick it apart..... :)

All my efforts have been directed to portray that nostril. I'm joking of course. I appreciate your kind comment.:wave:

I keep the original photo. The drawing will be a surprise, she has not seen it yet. For the moment, my wife wants to keep the drawing. Then....Many thanks for your comment.

Masterful. Besides the glasses, hair, fabric, and features, I love how you cropped it with her sun soaked white upper arm, which is even lighter than the background. Perfect for the scene!

This looks like a model's photo shoot - beautiful girl and fabulous "shot". Absolutely stunning.

Wonderful depth of field in the ear as well.

You have captured that typical brooding teenage look perfectly.
