Virginia,

Excellent! Wonderful job. The eyes really capture her beauty. Her lips and the flesh tones are excellent!!

Though the eyes are done really well, the drawing seems to be off a little. Her right eye (the one on the left) seems to be just a hair too high... or maybe its the jaw line... I'm not sure. Could you post the original photo?

I've noticed a lot of wonderful portraits posted in the forums have slight drawing errors that keep them from being truly great.

My old art teacher used to tell me that the drawing was the most important aspect of the painting, the foundation and without it the rest isn't worth doing.

John
