Excellent. Nice work.

Thanks guys! It means a lot to get feedback.
@luv2 I am keeping the dots jaja. I like them and was recently watching Puss in Boots and their amazing, scratchy animation. I fell in love. Not to mention I also adore Spider-man into the Spider-verse and their equally, if not, more scratchy smear-frame, animation and not to mention those juicy lines they add on top of the 3-D models. Just, ah, chef's kiss. I like the dither. And I'm a sucker for animation. I lean more towards that than realism, so adding the half-tones is a little of my touch.

@bitbof I have watched a few videos and they encourage references with good, contrasting lighting for drawing portraits (and many things, for that matter), I thought this was a great time to put that info into use.
I did zoom out quite often, but I agree, the tone for her chest area was not a perfect match. The expression, oof. It wasn't until my family member pointed out that her face was tilted and open-mouthed. But I was too tired and too lazy to alter it. Jejeje. Since I didn't get the tilt and positioning of her face in my initial sketch, I feel like it did affect the draping and expression in the end. I do acknowledge that the end product doesn't carry what the referenced did. I did spend more time in the face, I was just too excited!
Nonetheless, I had a good time drawing this, I learned a lot. To be honest, I just wanted to see if I could draw a face that make people say, "Yep, that's a person."

Shoooot. Beautiful drawing
