cool pic... i like the green tones you've used, help make it look more interesting...
the body looks kinda buff...lol

Nice sketch (ing). Maybe darken up the background to make the face stand out more..it's hard to see the whole thing

Interesting picture. I, also, like the green shading and agree that it needs a darker background.

Hehe, yeah I cheated on the background. I just used this sketch to test a bunch of stuff I hadn't done while doing all those portraits....an older woman, someone facing left, and drawing without a reference. But, I hadn't studied bodies, so....I guess I did use a reference...a mirror for the 'buff' shoulders that don't fit with the head. Thanks, Sal. ;D
