It's been a long time since I've posted anything here since I've been experimenting with other media. It is good to get back to CP.
This is 14"x10" on Crescent Illustration Board using multiple brands of CP.

Re: Nancy
Very nice portrait. It would have helped me to see the reference photo but nevertheless nice piece! The hair and eyes are wonderful.

Your kind comments are very appreciated. This is such an active site and I would like to comment on the work here. Perhaps this evening I'll be able to get to it.

I've seen many artists using illustration board so I got curious and bought some : )

Did you enjoy doing portrait on this type of paper?

Re: Nancy
I do love how you have used the violet shade through out your portrait and I love the light in her eyes.
It is great to see a lovely mix of colours in her skin -makes for a much more interesting potrait im my humble opinion .

One little area of concern is the earring -could you maybe tone down the gold a little as it is a little distracting.....but that is only my opinion someone else far more experienced may have a different view .

Glad you came back to the dark-side, lol now we have to see about keeping you here
