You have an interesting approach to cross hatching. This particular portrait feels almost like it wants to turn into a cubist painting.

Thats funny you would say that cause theres no cross hatching in this , its all just straight pure Line work .. but thankYOU for the comment ... AND thats a grand thing to say it could already Look like a painting , cheers not easy to do in pencil ... but Im happy its my daughter ...

I like it Sandra, it has character

. Have you thought about working with this similar technique but with a large flat brush in oils and just make one-stroke with many squares and rectangles creating the image ? That might look quite interesting I can imagine.

Beautiful, Love how you handled this.

Super work, Sandra. Intriguing lighting in this, including intriguing hatching. I wonder if the top lobe of her ear is tad higher? Or perhaps am not able to see it well given that it is in shadow.

Lovely drawing Sandra. Looking forwards to the painting.

Hey Sandra, I love, love, love how you handled her lips! Also this kind of hatching shows planes very well. all in all a telling portrait.

I think you have captured something of the inner person here Sandra, and created a strong drawing with your expressive lines and sense of light.

Fascinating drawing, Sandra. Her lines are at once structural and yet organic. Very unusual. --Aurelio

Love to hear that you would say that Kiran

,--I set her up and with a black out backdrop and then got my spot lighting which are from my ceiling and surrounding wall spot lighting focused on her , i let her sit how she wanted to hold her head this was the end result, about a 2 pushing 3 hour Life study it could of been long but she wouldnt stop moving but i was happy as said , the ear lobe is there but maybe I just didnt get that area worked enough...

you are a Fantastic Artist in my eyes Mac, and I could kiss u for such grand words~ but wont hold you to such a thought

, yes Im a big kid that is dancing with candy in her gob here reading you

Well Aurelio, I think thats due to my unusual self

and my thinking outside the box here , I wanted to get her down fairly fast... so I basically drew a Gestural shape of her face pulling it in as I went but that doesnt mean theres things that are not right , cause there Probs , the eyes are a pretty good size and match but the space between them is not enough .. bridge of the nose needs work and its to small maybe a tad to long ..Yep - all these little things add up to show that Im getting closer but that in turn tells me slow down and stop and think more ))) , its not perfect but then Ive a model that thinks she can move when ever .. for the most part I am happy to of drawn her from life and got a very foscused feel to her at least ~cheers to you all for such great comments
