Done, done, done! I still have some fine tuning to do-- most likely touching up on the jewels, but that can wait. It's amazing I kept my sanity the whole time-- what's left of it that is.

I have not added anything to my portfolio since November of last year so I thought I'd do something challenging and worth the break I took from art. Hope you guys like it.

With charcoal? I can't believe how realistic it is!! I could never control charcoal so expertly!

Thank you! I don't think anyone can fully control charcoal-- it's such a diva medium. :D

Thank you very much! It seems that's all I've been doing lately. I'm finishing up my first portfolio with 2 more portraits and I will be starting a new portfolio-- possibly next year-- where I will venture off to drawing things that'll push me out of my comfort zone. I started doing portraits to help learn proportions and somehow I got stuck on stupid and have been doing mainly that ever since.
