Hi Matt, 

I did this one with a 2b pencil on the same Strathmore Drawing paper.

I really enjoyed the self-critique, I’ve been trying to make a habit of writing a list after every drawing. 

I think I would focus on the placement of the nose (I think it’s maybe too far from the eye?), work on the collar of her jacket and neck, and work on some of the shadow shapes on her face, as well as hair texture. 

The hair is a lot darker and more contrasting than the photo appears, the part in shadow is close to black but I’m away all day and this is the last photo I took. Not to make excuses because I know you hear this all the time hahaha, I could still push it. 

Thanks!
