I think Buffy is absolutely beautiful. Wonderful eyes which I do feel would be even more mesmerising if you punched up your darks a little.Terrific work.

Thanks for those comments, I will push the darks a little in the eyes

What a pretty girl. You've done a nice job Elaine. Pushing the darks in the eyes or brightening the highlights? I think if you whiten part of the highlights the eye would "pop" although that may be difficult at this stage with a pastel pencil. A little dab with a Schminke white would do the trick.
