to begin with let me tell you some things I look for when making a critique of a sketch.
first it is shadowing. to me a picture is not a picture without shadowing. You shadowed your picture quite well with a few exceptions. when you highlighted the face you told me from which direction the light was coming from, which is good, what I see wrong is that your highlight is not carried through the print. there should be highlighting on her hair about where her ear is, and highlight about in the center of her chest. This I believe would have enhanced the picture

The second thing I look for is detail. I love the way you detailed her eye brows, eye lashes, lips and even moles. I cannot complain about detailing other then I believe you could have detailed where her neck connects with her body, like where my trache lies. You have one bone detailed but I believe if you would have made the area so it would have looked more sunken, it would have enhanced it.

for me the picture is a slightly bit darker then I would have liked, but the picture was not made for me.

vision............3.8 out of 5
Originally.......2.5 (lets face it, portraits are not a new concept :)
Tecnique........4.5
Impact...........4.5

I try to give advice that may help, that is why I tell you what I find maybe wrong and what I would like to see. If you accept this let me know and I will move your work to traditonal portraits.
