made from a very old sketch
it is more a study than a finished portrait

inspired by Sargent's Madame-X

nice pic, the proportions are a bit off (the neck is way too long and legs dont seem long enough) also a little for highlights wouldnt hurt.

looks good, tho I agree with the previous crits.

Also some collarbone and neck definition might give some more construction.

I really love this. even the proportions, they do something for me. it looks of such an undefinable time. gorgeous

i like the style you have adopted, very post modern if a little brazen and awkward.

i think we have a talent for the future here and i for one would like to see it nurtured.

Great image. I think that you've done an excelent job of rendering the flesh tones. The composition is simple but it works. The alterations on the figure's anatomy create a strange and interesting shape on the page. My only question is why didn't you work up the dress to the same realism level as the flesh?

) thanks for the replies, glad you like it!
i made the neck too long on purpose, but I will look into the other anatomy probs.
*Sigh*..i've always had a big problem with the neck... such a complication to me where the neck meet the torso

thanks again. now i want to work more on it! :-)
