Hello Mari:
Congrats! I don't know if this is your first master copy or not, but you did a good job here. I hope you learned a lot from it.
My comments:
I see a definate style in how you applied your strokes. Quite bold and brushy. This is a valid style and I hope you were trying to do that. If not, then you have a natural tendency for it - explore it.
The scan looks a little yellow to me - is the original that way?
Keep an eye out to the features - the right eye looks a tad off and the nostrils are flared out farther than MBs subject were.
You established a good palette of values and the 3d impression comes off nicely.
Her eyebrows seem to be darker than her hair. I might lighten them somewhat.
Nice work on the ear! Ears can be hard to paint.
The garment looks gray/yellow and somewhat dirty. I might punch up the highlights.
You seemed to have used a warmer palette than he did. Again, is this just the scan?
