Oh good grief, you know I gotta chime in. Lisa, Lisa, Lisa. You REALLY think you need to slow down with the pastels? This is amazing, simply AMAZING.

A couple of things that bothered me have already been mentioned; the eye and the shadow behind her. I'm gonna take a pic of mine at eight hours, and most will be thinking "Dang, how are you going to save that?"

Have you seen the work of Jane Lund, her work is hard to find on the net. You might find some poor quality ones, but I remember an article on her in maybe the Pastel Journal and they had good pics. Anyway, her stuff was very detailed. I believe some could take up to 18 months to complete. I think. This kinda reminds me of it, but 17 months, 29 days, and 16 hours quicker.

You rock!
