Pat, this is magnificent! I love the whole thing, but especially the eye. It's so clear, innocent, and guileless. The soul you've put into this drawing seems concentrated on it, and radiates out from it.

I'm so impressed with how you managed the values. Did your experience drawing her from life help you with that? Do you feel that your camera recorded the value transitions accurately? What kind of camera did you use? I'm finding that, with my digital, I can capture a lot of detail, but sometimes the importance of certain colors is lost. I only noticed it by doing oil sketches from life and then comparing them to the photos. Certain color notes get toned down to the point that I would not have noticed them if I hadn't done the oil sketch first. I'm wondering if this translates into problems with value changes.
