Hi, this is the finished piece which I had been showing in the Progress Forum. It's 13x19, graphite on light gray Stonehenge paper. Although there are no critiques in this forum, I would appreciate some. I don't know if it's proper to x-post this in the Drawing critique forum, so if you'd like to critique it, please PM me. Thank you.

Masterfully done!

I particularly like those deep, dark values in the face that create such depth vs. some of your previous drawings, which were still wonderful by the way. Also the loose pencil lines around her waist area is nice, maintains the focal point at the head.

Jimmie,

Beautiful drawing. Excellent range of values. Great job on the hands, also. When are you going pro, man?

I'm submitting slides now to galleries, hopefully someone will like the work.
