Jeff,

A few things -

- I absolutely love the idealized way you treat hair. Absolutely love it. This is a very big whup in your drawing and it makes such an impact.

- You really captured a tone and mood. Her intense expression, combined with your precise line work make another strong statement. Compared with your rendering of the features, which I can only describe as "sincere," these two facets make a really striking image. I wish I had another word besides "sincere" but I can't think of one. Maybe it will come to me.

- I wonder if the lid on the far eye should be so light. It seems that it should be more in shadow.

- I also wonder if there should be more tone variation in the skin, just a smidge. The hair is such a mass, I feel like there should be a cast shadow here and there with a similarly dark value to balance it out. Besides the moles. Maybe near the nose, and under her ear, but this may be lacking just from the scan.

Will there be a background?

Love it! Love it!
