Description
I was cleaning up my Lightrom library as I had a ton of left over and unused photo sequences from my recent timelapse short film and came across this forgotten gem of a portrait.I asked if Maiken would agree to model for me because I thought she had such a fantastic face.
She did and this is the best photo from the rather spontaneous shoot, hardly any planning.
All natural light and no light modifiers were used
Spent about 6-7 hours on the editing and retouching.
I changed the color of the background from green to orange and yellow autumn colors since it didn't match quite well with the scarf she wore at the time.

Thanks!!!
I am amateur if You ask me...
I draw for pleasure mostly, when I have the muse to do it. I've never learn it professionally though.
I really like to draw portraits
They say, that this is one of the hardest things to draw... I don't know, but in the future I will try to draw more landscapes and still life art too, to see the difference

So you can say you've learned how to draw yourself?
What do you like so much about portraits that you are drawn to them? (pun intended 
I'm looking forward to seeing some more of your drawing experiments, keep them coming as well as your photos, always interesting to see people experimenting with different skills.

Ah, cool.
You're not as bound by the "rules" of drawing then, great for developing your own style.
You're most welcome, Yavor and thank you, too.
Have a great day.
