That's the trouble when you can't see the original drawing, but have to look at some kind of smaller digital copy on the internet. The exiting tell-tales that it IS a drawing are lost. Anyway, thanks and glad you like it! Thanks for the fave as well!

Thanks!

Aside from having worked myself up to being more than usually precise on the eyes, the effect of the whole is due to layering: the shadows and shading weren't all done in one shot, but made progressively deeper by starting light and going over and over it with different grades of pencil; softer harder, softer, harder.

Wow. The eyes are so captivating. They look glassy, which makes it look so real. You are an amazing artist.

That is so cool.

Thanks very much!

I think her eyes are so deep and beautiful that I really spent much more time than usual on them and the shading is many layers. It's all fine lines, done with the tip of a sharp pencil. (That's apparent if you look up close at the original, but it gets wiped out in digital reproduction. I'm working toward getting a better camera with a good lens that can be manually focused and fitted with a polarizing filter which may make for better pics of graphite drawings.)

Yeah, she's exceptionally lovely and seems brimming with warm interest in anyone she talks to, which is why I wanted to draw her.

Thanks for your very nice words!

I would call this a simple portrait, nothing popping straight out in the viewer's eyes, but everything is so well balanced that the whole thing just looks perfect!
I know I am not so good with words, and probably my comment doesn't say much, maybe the says it all better!

I think I know what you mean: it's a straightforward portrait the point of which is simply to represent the subject. I'm glad you think it ultimately works. Thanks for the fav!

Thanks, vis. The rework I did since I first posted it involved smoothing out the transitions from one area to the next, so I'm glad it reads that way.
