First I want to say - what a great piece! So realistic and shaded so beautifully.
The only things I feel need a little work are the hand and foot. I understand the difficulty in drawing both of these things. The hand is a little masculine for such a feminine subject. The index finger and pinky would look better if they had a little more shape.
And the distance for the instep to the big toe seems a little too long. And the arc to the toe looks too sharp / unnatural.
But, as I said, great piece.
Beautiful model and portrait.

Thank you very much for the critique. I agree the hand and foot could have been better. The size of the drawing made them difficult. The foot is about 2 inches long.

Lovely drawing.Β gray tones are fantastic. The background, shadings and how you made her skin is wonderful neatly done.

I disagree with the critique also. Having seen your reference image, the model has very long fingers herself, and her toes in the photo are blurred so your rendering is actually clearer and more precise. It also looks like you drew the image to scale, an impressive accomplishment in it's own right. Overall I'd say this a magnificent rendering.

Thanks. Yeah, I find it funny when people tell me something doesn't look right when in fact that's what the original reference looks like.

Wonderful job. I do disagree with the critique--I believe the toes are quite natural. People can bend their toes just like that! I can and I am an old guyΒ Β

Hey Patrick
I think the work is fantastic. The shades and the shape of the femenine figure.Β
About the critique. I think most of artists try to draw perfect people, however real people is not perfect. Some has big bellys, some large nose (as me), some big foot or male hands in a perfect woman body.Β
Capture those imperfections is the real challenge for an artist.Β

This is simply amazing. Do you use any special pencils?

Thank you very much. This was done with Derwent Graphic pencils and a Staedtler Mechanical pencil for the small details.

Thanks. I think it's the shadows under her legs that gives it dimension.
