Um... it's a nice photo, but that poor girl has really bad makeup. I don't know, these kinds of soft porn-esque photos don't really grab me (being a girl). Although, even if I was a lesbian I doubt I'd find her attractive. Just something about that look makes me shudder. It's so objectifying. Not that I'll give it a really low rating for that.

Good use of pencil -- on eyebrows and around eyes...

Like it. A bit too much shadow on the right side of her face though.

So, any calls from pencil companies wanting to buy your "ad"? Great shot.

It's interesting and well composed. Personally, I think portraits should be really sharp rather than slightly soft focus. Other than that, it's a terrific pictureĆ¢€Ā¦ (7)

could do with some fill light on the left side of her face - very harsh shadows...
