Mari, beautiful drawing! I could stare at it for a very long time and keep appreciating something new. I think any artwork, drawing or painting, is more a step in a neverending process rather than a badge of success.

As Bill pointed out, there's going to be more and more competition as realism takes hold as a force in the art world. It's easy to get started. There are a lot of willing customers for inexpensive portraits made directly from photographs. But as you move up in the ranks, the going gets tougher. To create work that is distinctive, original, and expressive at that level takes years of study and practice, and it also takes vision and conviction and humility and self-confidence.
