A lovely present!




Hanna, you have created a lovely mood in this picture. I am sure she will love it.

One thing, look at the reference of her nose, You have made the nostril to our left too bright or too obvious. Tone it down.

For the future, do a value study of Vermeers "Girl with pearl earring" in charcoal or soft pencil. Next do a study of a head from life in similiar light, again in black and white. This will help you with your form and values.

Sincerely,
