Difficult colored pencil portrait

[Elizabeth Schott]

Carolyn, what a special portrait to do.

I think you have caught a ton of personality with your drawing, I feel like I know this person.

Honestly I wouldn't have known this was colored pencil! (That's a compliment).

If you could post your reference it would be a lot easier to give you a "critique", but now that I read through the thread, you guys have addressed that! I think it is wonderful!
