Exceptionally good as always, Valery.

The fabric is great, the skin textures also .. BUT ..

... the chest doesn't look right to me, the rest seems to be back to front and why oh why did you cover the face with hair?

Not that there is anything wrong with the hair itself ...

Val Val Val! This piece is marvelous! I can feel the softness of her arms. I love the folds/wrinkles in her clothes. Her hair came out fantastic! You constantly amaze me. And... it's great to see your new avatar! You are a handsome man.

On the avatar don't you think it is like Captain Kirk Starship Enterprise?
Great picture as always Valery how do you do that lifelike hair?

Val,
You're amazing. It would be really something if you could ever find the time to school the rest of us on how you do such marvelous work; you know, a tut on one aspect at a time. Maybe starting with just the clothing or hair or some other aspect.
This, however, would be extremely time consuming for you and not practical to take on.
Thanks so much for sharing your amazing works here. You truly inspire all of us.
ron

Val,

As always, your skills and good judgement inspire! The Visitor is a joy to see -- thanks for sharing it with us.

I don't want to be nit-picky but I humbly suggest the floor shadows are not up to the same standards as the rest of the drawing. The level of realism breaks down a bit for me at the floor. I do like the floor colour and how it works with the rest of the drawing but wonder if it needs some reflective sheen etc to make it more grounded. Perhaps that's something to think about.

Regards, Ross (your student)

I like it, just the right lumination, did you take a picture of her before drawing?
