Sort of pushing the limits. I didn't really have the patience to experimenting with painting cotton or the landscape.

Modeled off Lisa Edelstein who plays Dr. Lisa Cuddy on "House M.D." A take on the Mona Lisa with an Esmeralda (Hunchback of the Notre Damn) spin, although it began as neither.

Ref: [link] the "Mona Lisa"

-----

EDIT: Focused the image. Corrected the colouring.

-----

EDIT: Fixed proportions of the face, i.e. the eyes and the nose.

This is very good. I like her expression.

Here's what I think you might want to work on:

The shading:

The overall shading here is very good. Smooth and precise. But the neck would really benefit from some more work. The shading there look like it was rushed compared to the rest of the piece. Also, her right eye is brighter than her left eye. This is making the left eye look smaller. Might want to correct that as well. You should also make the highlights in her eyes a little brighter. Will look a little more realistic. The earings and gems would also benefit from bright highlights to reinforce the realism. Some bright highlights in the hairs might also look pretty good.

Proportions:

Ain't the nose a little small? You should try to make it wider to see how it looks. Not that much wider but a little.

For now, I think that with these small ajdustments, this piece will look even better. Well done!

Thanks for the critique! I totally meant to be forget to reply about this.

Good catch on the details about the eyes.
On the rest of the stuff, it is true that I had gotten sloppy once I made it past the face which upon fresh eyes still needs some work afterall.

I don't plan to continue this, but I will keep this in mind in the future.
