Steven, thanks so much for all the thought you put into your critique's. No doubt I could have spent a lot more time on this drawing. I think each of your points are valid.

Could you comment on the basic composition, the decisions regarding void space at the bottom left and the treatment above the head and to the right of the figure? Does this style of composition distract in your opinion? Anyone's opinion? By using this style could it be argued that this is "merely a study" and not a portrait?

Yunno, I find that these drawings (when rendered properly) can be as time consuming as an oil painting. Anyone else find this to be true?
