Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you.

I totally agree there is something...creppy about it, and im high

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

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.

You are under control.

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

ah, that's someone beautiful i haven't drawn yet.

i love her lips in this ay

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.

Totally amazing.

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.
