Description
I stopped being happy with where this one was going, particularly in the shading, but I still think she's one of the more uniquely lovely women I've ever drawn.

there's something utterly transfixing about her stare...

I love how you didn't shade her hair. It makes her skin pop. It makes her expression pop. Love it.

Really, I love the unfinished aspect of it; it seems to make the face stand out even more. Lovely work.
Not exactly sure why you became unhappy with the shading, though! It looks awesome!

The skin was fine enough, I suppose, but her mouth, argh, her lips, maybe they will make sense again to me later; right now I find them hideous and infuriating.

I think I understand, but really, her lips aren't bad at all.
Still, she is quite lovely.

I can definitely agree to that. Uniquely lovely, indeed. ^_^

This is amazing. And I think you were doing a fine job with the shading, particularly around the eyes and that..thing..piece of skin between the lips and the nose? I'm sure there's some scientific name for that. But that part!

Ooh, I used to know the term for that.

I'm sure Google would tell us...but I almost like the mystery, now!

Your artist comments say it best, she is indeed more uniquely lovely women I've seen you draw.
I'm a little surprised that you stopped where you did but I do like the sketch just as it is.

Can I ask, what surprises you about it?
Yeah, I was having trouble figuring out how to do the hair without making it look like a giant scribble.

I'm only a little surprised that you weren't compelled to go further but simply one glance at this sketch and I can see it's perfect just as it is.

Haha! Charles, I swear to god, you must run every sentence you intend to say to me through some kind of Flattery Filter, either that, or somebody grafted rose colored glasses to your eye sockets specifically aimed at my art and forgot to tell you.
And I might possibly continue it. If I suddenly see a way around the bits that bother me. But seeing how likely that could never happen, or take forever, I thought I'd go ahead and share.

The truth can be flattering at times.
(By the way... that area between the nose and lips is called the Philtrum. I had to look it up)
