So...it's finished, but I am not happy with the final results at all. I was even debating on posting it or not. I think the darkness of the shadows got a little weird. In the original, half of her face was hidden in shadows. I think it just looks dirty now!
Oh well. Hopefully my next drawing will turn out better!

I'm so glad you decided to post this after all, because I love it! To me the shadows don't look weird at all, and the eyes, eyebrows, and lips turned out beautifully! Very life-like.
Ugh...don't get me started. Makes me frown just looking at it. I was really unhappy with the way it turned out. Oh well! By the way, I'm glad that you've become a fan! But, you should check out my other drawings...they're way better!!
