Done mostly during commercial breaks. I like her dress, and the couch and that lil pillow thingy. There's something about it that I don't like, but I can't seem to put my finger on it.

You're mad to draw a dress like that! On the other hand, you've drawn far more complex pieces of clothing as well.. ;)

Looks to me thou as if you've spent the majority of your time on the furniture and her dress thou, that's why Gwyneth herself lacks a bit of "finesse".. But I know what you're gonna say, there's "just skin". And yea, that's true alright. Still feels like the extras seem to be more important here than the actual subject.

Damn, now I sound too negative (the downside of trying to provide critique)! So I'll just add it's yet another great piece you made :D

Actually, you're right I didn't even want to mention who the person was, but I couldn't think of a title. I'm surprised she's recognizable since I spent most of the time just smoothening it out, but yeah, spent most of my time somewhere else. Keep the critiques coming.

technically it's fantastic

but to me, it seems more of a sculpture than an actual person, as in..realistic in terms of a sculpture. mostly because of the facial expression and the hair. i think mroe detail and shading of the hair could make it look more 'lively'. i guess there is also some thing about her eyes that seems to resemble the white marble sculptures..a bit in lack of expressions .

overall, an eyecatching piece

beautifully rendered. I would suggest adding shadow to the forshortening effects of the lower arm to hint depth and on the lower arm (her left) the fingers need to be a bit longer, so if it were me I would draw the space between the fingers down a bit more.

Very nice detail throughout, only part that seems unfinished is the hands/wrists area but its that way because it's not ment to be the focal point. Fantastic job on laying down the print pattern on the furniture as well as the dimensions of the woodcarving at the very top of the back of the chaise lounge.

We are a mirror showing someone else their own selfimage perception, creating it for them.

I can't criticize what I don't understand. If you want to call this art, you've got the benefit of all my doubts. - Charles Rosin, Northern Exposure
