I started this a few days ago. I liked that one eye was partly hidden by her hair.
My resource material showed a woman with wild hair but I left most if it out to focus on her distant far away look. I liked the dark area on the lower right caused by the shadow in the hair but felt it needed balance so I darkened up some of the top left. I did a lot of drawing and shading with the blending stub and at times use it entirely instead of the pencil.
I could have worked on it longer but needed to move on to other projects. Strangely I really like this one and may frame it.
