Comments by the artist

Just a simple portrait. I made an extra effort to do her hair carefully and I think it shows. Normally I have a lot of trouble with it but when I take my time it comes out more naturally.

I also tried not to draw too many lines to make up her facial features. This time I used tonal shapes and I think it gives a softer look.
