Third time's a charm




This was a real challenge for several reasons, first it is a double portrait (first go round I finished one girl well and the other not so well, second go round the reverse happened - Aarg!) Second, how to handle the negative space between their heads. Third, the angle of the girl on your left was very hard to draw for me. Lastly, the girl on your left had a collar which covered her chin and neck completely. Used a stand in, thank you for the suggestion, Julie, I think. But I am pretty happy with the results and it will be on it's way to Ct this week.

Thank you for your help in critiques!

ps sorry it is a bit blurry. I see that the eye furthest to your left looks less "crisp", it is result the reflection of light - darn graphite.
