    lovely, again. Its a very haunting image, and its technical side, though simplistic, is stunning. The ring is amazing and i’m still in awe of your whites! your shading transition is so subtle that even though at first glance you don’t notice it, that is what draws you into the picture. Brilliant job – I’m loving seeing your work.

    And, thank you, for the watch – i appreciate it, so much – from you mroe than others probably, because your another charcoal artist. it feels good – thank you

    Beautiful portrait…
    I love the eyes, very dramatic!
    They really drew me into this picture.
    I also love the wild hair on the edge, how it isn’t defined as much as the hair nearer the neck..

    Anways, I just liked it =)
