Beautiful girl portrait

I think this drawing goes beyond a simple "nice job" or "good going". The detail of this picture is amazing. Her eyes are lovely, very expressive and show a empathy and kindness that you have managed to project. Her mouth is beautifully shaded and you did a fantastic job on the nose, though what stands out to me the most is the hair. The contrasts within the ringlets is what really fascinates me. The hair looks very life like and full of movement.

After looking at the original picture, feel your only failing in this work is that the model and final work do not look like the same people. When I first saw this work I pictured a blond with dark blue eyes. I also pictured her much more pale, but perhaps that is just my interpretation of your work. Whatever the case, I think it's a solid piece of work. Great job.
