Very nice. I really like the hint of pink throughout. You do such wonderful work. I love working on black also and found I like to use Faber Castell instead of Prismacolor on black. The oil base seems to cover better.

Quality of drawing is again very high, congratulations, but, something is bothering me, not sure what.
I think the scale of the neck and lower part looks a bit off in comparison with the face....
Maybe it's just the perspective, or just me ....

Thanks Kris.
Actually, I need to dig out the ref, there were a few things that were a bit off looking, including her lower eye, I tried to fix it, but not entirely sure I got it
If I can find it, I'd love if you had a look to see what's throwing it

no worries, just looked at it, and besides the fact that it's a very good drawing, I just thought somethings looks wrong but as mentioned, maybe that's just me

I don't think it's just you, Gary saw something in the neck too, I think I've fixed it now though Thanks again.

I sure did I sent it either last Thursday or Friday, can't remember, but it's on it's way to you.
I sent a couple of sheets of each colour to let you try them both

I'd write one of the sheets off just to have a scribble on and see what works for you, it's a very different paper. I hope you love it as much as I do
No problem at all, it's a pleasure

You can get it sent to the US, but it can be pricey because of shipping
I'll send you the link if you like it.
Also, an alternative is an extra smooth bristol board, it's very similar

Ah okay ... thanks I use the bristol vellum for my colored pencil work
