Ah! Mischa,
nice volume!
I love the hair ( soft and form, that's it?)
It's a beautiful present, she will certainly love it, and who knows...maybe it will be an inspiration for her.

Thank you Bonfim and Marina appreciate you taking the time and coment.
I did a bit more with the hair after I posted. I lost the three curlicue's in the hair and gave it body and then puled out some highlights.

Mischa,
This turned out so beautifully. I love the way you pushed the darks. There is so much suggestion and mystery in them. I am sure the girl and her family will love this gift.

This is lovely. Was the photograph of the drawing taken at an angle?

Thank you all. I must admit this was done on the fly as the saying goes.
Bonfim, thank you! Yes, this is a special time for the family and I am sure for the girl as well. I thought the gift will be a good reminder of her decision and the importance.
Marina, thank you! When I look at the drawing there is a definite sense of volume and depth. It is my bad photography that does not give the total extent. Sorry.
Alex, thank you! I thought to push the darks more but am pressed for time. I hate leaving a drawing unfinished.
Kim, it was taken at an angle, in bad lighting and from close-up. I must work on my photography. The drawing it self is fine even though the photo of the drawing suggests distortion.
