This is very well done! The detail that is shown in every bit of the woman from her hair to her toes is very well done! The facial expression is very good! The blending and shading is very good! Well done and thanks for sharing! Lilibug6

Comment from Cyd-1940's
Looks of this and the attention to detail is awesome. looks like the person is trying to keep something away. You can see in the face they feel fear like there not sure what just happened. Hands are really good details..

Nice poem to accompany your art here. Interesting body position. Good composition. Lots of detail in the hair and the shading.

Comment from NancyJTubb
Excellent and unusual drawing with exceptional anatomical correctness. Your shading and lighting are excellent and the accompanying artist poem is very though provoking. Thank you for sharing this interesting drawing. Are you also the poem's author?

Thanks Nancy for the review. I'm the author of the final two verses with the first two from the original poem 'A Bag of Tools' by R.L. Sharp. I am glad you like it. R

Loving this one Raoul, perfection in composition, position sometimes difficult to capture, but you have drawn it superbly! Great expertise in tonal gradation and over the top execution. Jean

Comment from bizzygirl
For the most part, this is incredibly well drawn. The position of the body is amazing as is the factial features and hair. The model's left hand needs work in the thumb area. The sahding on the legs is odd to say the least. I do not understand all the circles left unshaded. At first I thought the socks , perhaps had holes in them. The socks do not go up the legs. Graphite pencils, much to my dismay, do not transfer well in the photo by camera or upload to computer. I only learned yesterday that graphite reflects light. Perhaps that is the issue with you shading here. You did the body so very well it just doesn't make any sense with the barren holes of white? I am at a loss on that
