  1. She is beautiful, such a lovely expression. Your shading is very nice, too, I like the graphic quality of the piece. I do agree with Pagnes, though, that you would be able to see a bit more of her head from this angle. And perhaps more of her ear on her left side. At the moment, her neck looks a bit too small to support her head, but it isn't bad. All in all, I think you have a really nice portrait here.
