I wish I could draw detailed sketches like that.
So, can I just take a moment to tell you how fabulous your values are in this??? They're just completely stunning! Even when I go through more than one 7B pencil in a drawing, I still can't achieve the level of contrast you've got in this. Even the "white" spots aren't just blank white spots, but they're still so bright! And her skin, her skin is so smooth looking! It's blended so perfectly, but it's not overdone or overworked. The eyebrows, eyelashes, and hair are *perfect* as well. They look so three-dimensional and real, it's stunning!
Another thing that people don't tend to mention when they talk about portraiture is how you can accurately capture someone. It's one thing to get an accurate picture, but it means nothing if you haven't captured their aura of personality in it. You've done that perfectly in this piece. The pure innocence that she carries in her expression is just perfect, but you can also tell that there is more behind her eyes.
I've seen this picture before, and I think that, for this B&W portrait, it was a good call to get rid of the polka dots on her gloves. With this shot, I think the dots would've been distracting so close to her face.
Okay gah I know I wrote like a page and a half about this but I just can't help it.
