Thank you, Chris.
I would say that sketching her a few times (with wonderful, dramatic lighting situations) I was able to familiarize myself with how she carries herself, poses and how the light plays on her skin and features. When I worked from the photo sources, I was then able to tell if I was on the right track, as I progressed, in depicting her correctly. I did deliberately change a couple of minor things to make her appear more feminine, though, but since this is mainly a portfolio piece, it's not an issue.
