Dodge and Burn from a lite gray base.

I also saved some process pics if anyone is interested in seeing the steps I used to do this. Some 'may' be unfamiliar with using dodge and burn to do this type of art.

I get the idea that her nostril is a bit too close to the other one. I know it`s just shade, but still.

That`s my only comment though, very, very nice.

This is a very nice piece. I love the shading and the smoothness of the face. The expression is very realistic looking. Was wondering if you had a reference for this one?

Thanks. I agree with you about the nose. It's like that in the photo too. (see below)

Yup, like I said I had a ref;

I tried adding the details in the lips but it looked odd for some reason.

Thanks for the comments.
