Good good job on making it darker. I know it isn't easy, but oh girl, it looks so eye catching!
Beautiful work. Veronica is right about the edges but that's something I also forget a lot.
How did you do the background? I love it!

Thank youuu, Maria!
I made the background with a charcoal powder and a tissue

Hmm... When you sharpen your charcoal remains a kind of dust, and that's the one I use for background. I don't know if it can be bought, I wasn't interested to look for it
And... I hope you understood me

Oh no I understand you fine!
Sadly I don't have any charcoal, but when I get some I plan to try it! Do you save the charcoal powder for later times or just sharpen it as needed?

Well, yes, I save the charcoal powder, I don't want to consume my charcoal sharpening it everytime I need the powder

Ohh beautiful, zindy used this same picture too
So I'm very happy you've gone darker with the dress, just pay attention to one thing and this actually was one of the few thing's i learned in school, you see the lines around her arm and hand? Those shouldn't be there I mean you should make them look invisible, like smudge them or if the back ground is dark they would not be noticed, in this case the back ground is not that dark so you should have make them part of the arm shading (can u understand me? i find this hard to explain) but it is a really good work. Keep up
