Description
A portrait I founded interesting to draw with a hard light effect (I changed it on purpose from the ref).There are few parts I'm not fully satisfied with, and I was about to drop it few times. What I prefer : what made me draw this one, her eyes.
Hope you like it.
Don't hesitate to point out things you don't like, even if it's a detail.
EDIT : becoming a bit more objective with your comments, I decided to correct her nose line, and the top right of her hair. I deeply appreciate your comments and feedback. Thank you so much.

In fact the secret is I have no graphical culture, so I use the photorealistic style with graphite to understand what make light, focus or textures, and to improve with pencils.Β For sure there are many more secrets for me to search for,Β but hopefully I already discover few of them. Thank you for this interesting comment and for the fav on BB

The eyes alone are as good as they can be and the hair is just stunning.

Great drawing, she looks very pretty
Is it me or all of you French people draw women so greatly?

Is it really a french special? Do we pay more attention to women?
Anyway thanks for you kind comment!

My French friend draws female figures very well, that's why I suggested it 
(lol, French friend draws female figures, so many f's in this sentence XD)

What a great look you've managed to capture! Really something like an overexposed photograph or something. Really well done!

Really great!
I especially love her lips and hair!
Though I think you might have scanned it a bit too bright (in the upper left)

Thank you so much, so glad you like it
You're right about brightness, I burnt it a bit when adjusting the levels on digital version (bad source file). I'm about to correct this

wow, you did a wonderful job on this portrait, fabulous 
(no wonder tough, that I couldn't guess whom the eye belonged to, I've never heard of her before 
π: 0 β©: 1
She's not that famous, even with "Fast and furious 5" (I didn't see). A former boyfriend of her was a french actor, they looked so different it was surprising to see them aside.
Thank you so much for your kind comment !
