very nice job...but to me her expression is a bit imobile
still...good work, very clean job

Thanks for the crits everyone. I have noticed what Cigaro was saying when I was drawing this picture. I finally had to spray it with sealant just so I would leave it alone!! lol

Very nice drawing! Great work on shading and light!

As Fyralath said, the shading is awesome

Lovely work !!!

it is good I hope to see but good works, opinion very own sees some lined of the lapiz very abrupt, but I imagine that by the time it is justified

That line was actually a wrinkle in the fabric of her sweater, I tried miserably to correct it but with no success. Keep in mind that I did not run this through Photoshop for a once over, so all those imperfections showed up.
Thanks for the crit BTW

I really like it. Nicely done.

Nicely drawn, Brant. I'd have cropped it a bit differently though. Those three white borders are somewhat distracting.

Excellent work! The shading really brings out the facial features well. Love the hands too, very nicely done.
