Description
This is long overdue.I used various references to put *Nelleke 's face together in this drawing (hence puzzle).
It's not as good as Rollercoaster Pencil , but I've exerted more imagination here.
Hope you like it.
EDIT: Sept 10
I felt I rushed too much into submitting this one and didn't give myself the time to scrutinize my work. I retouched some shadows tonight, added a little more depth in some areas so the highlights would show.
Frankly I don't think I got her face right, but she is nevertheless as beautiful as the reference photos.
H, 2B pencils, smudge stick, tissue and some prayer for courage
..aaaand some digital editing to remove the nasty spots on my paper.

Thanks! I'm gonna remove the 'retouched' since the original is gone already. (I'm actually glad you didn't see the old one)

Pieters Puzzle.. that sounds like a philosophical problem But that might also be because I've only read stuff about philosophies the past few hours.

You are very, very busy! I was wondering when you'd take a look at it. Well I'm glad you like it (and telling me that it looks like you - whew )
I might retouch it a little more, darken the shades or something as suggested by =7774RK

Yes, I'm actually fine with this already, but I was challenged by an equally artistic friend.

Great work!
I don't know if it's the scanner or my screen... But seeing the improvemnent from the previous stage... I feel it still needs one more coat of shading... Then it'll be perfect!!!!

Throw some holy water on it.
That should calm it down.
