this shows that you graphically have a boatload of talent; an eye, attention to detail> I also really think you have a great compositional style of filling the frame to the prverbial-eighties valley girl max; step back and expand; see the peace in negative space. I ahve added you to my favorite list.
Kinda creepy but I like the technique you used. Creative and different. Composition seems good to me. Worth trying again without the things that get you DQd. It caught my eye and that is what makes for an interesting photo.
a real pencil sketch would never have lines like those, especially those on her face.
yes this is some editing i've never seen before, so it is original.
but it is kinda freaky to look at, to be honest
Interesting. Certainly different. It appears to be heavily processed (I see what look like dodge lines on her chest, for instance) and has strayed rather far from a photograph for my taste.
