Don't know how I missed this, but it's great to see that you got through this one with flying colors (pun sort of intended, if you like puns). Just wonderful!

I especially liked seeing how you took Sharon's advice and touched up the eye - it made quite a difference! This is a bit of Monday morning quarterbacking, but the next time you encounter a model with this kind of heavy makeup, get in close and photograph just for eye detail. And if you forget, put a stand-in under the same lighting. Sure, everyone's eye shape is different, but the overall construction is the same.

Like Marvin, I am barely familiar with pastels - but it is much akin to any opaque medium, I see. That in mind - how much further is it to a full color oil from here?
