Description Yeah...well...
Usually i love to dig in a good skin texture,re-invent all kind of pores,freckles,wrinkles,pimples and such.
It didn't happen here.I kept everything down to the minimal,although i am certainly NOT the zen master,but some times less is more.

"Simplicity" doesn't belong to me,she will travel to her final destination soon,to his part of the world.
She is my spiritual child though and i am proud of her and she will keep a place in my heart.




I used:
Derwent watercolor pencils dry
Albrecht Durer faber castell watercolor pencils dry

On watercolor paper medium tooth
reference used

I altered all skin tones to cool ones and you can see the changes i made here [link] .
Overdid it a bit i think with the lipstic...

I want you to take a look at this first [link] .
Do you see what i have done?The things i made disappear? The changes?
Do you notice the part you didn't like? Make the comparison and then we discuss it.

Master is something i am not.
But you pushing me is always good!

Should have explained better, I think if you did a softer blend on the shadow of the neck, went a bit darker and not added such defined lines (detail) ...the v shape, dont know what you call it in english, might have looked better, not criticizing please dont misunderstand. It is an incredible portrait! What medium is that anyway?

Color pencils.
Most probably you are right,thank you for pointing it out.
I admit that many times my head gives totally different commands than the ones my hands execute...
