Thank you all so much for your informative posts! You have no idea how much I appreciate this input. In college, most of the focus is on landscapes and abstract. The fact that I use brushes smaller than a 6 is considered "too fussy" and "details interfere with creativity."
Lon, feel free to fiddle with the image. I also noticed the left cheek and left eye. I think if the pupil of the left eye is lowered slightly this will help. I don't know if the eye is out of line because, the way I see it and I may be wrong, is that the eyes are at a 90 degree angle with the nose. Maybe I've just looked at it too much!
Jeanine, in one of the photos (the one I have used for the bottom of the dress) her toes are peeking out from beneath the dress. I loved look of the ornate gown with bare feet. Unfortunately, when I did the initial drawing on canvas it was too big and I couldn't fit in the foot without making her look WAY to short. I'll have to change the name to something that explains the setting. And yes I will definately trim the waistline.
Karin, no I don't think you are picking on me. The more feedback I receive the better. Please continue to critique my work and don't hold anything back.
I won't be able to get more resource photos because she just moved to Ohio.
Mari, Sandy, Michael, I like your suggestions for the background and will play with some sketches to see how it works. I don't know about the life preserver though Michael, it's a little too Titanic for me.
Thanks again,
