Hi Pat,

Nice start! This will be wonderful.

Before you go any further I'd make some thumbnail sketches focusing on how you're going to handle the background. I like the effect of losing the edges of the hair into the background in some places - meaning, in those areas you'll have a dark background - and keeping the background light in places where you want to showcase the dark hair.

Even though your profile is the focus of the drawing you could still subtly soften those edges which aren't bone, such as chin and neck.

How much line you "lose" is to some degree a matter of taste. I'm looking forward to seeing how you do this.
