Hi everyone, I am new to this technological stuff so hopefully my pic is attached OK!  Nervous about showing my work to others, so thought this might be a good way to get some feedback/criticism, let me know what you think! I have decided to challenge myself and start putting my work "out there" for others to comment on.

Well Done Virgo. Excellent drawing. You must have spent a lot of time on this.

Thanks for your kind words! I am quite a slow worker so don't time myself, but I tend to put things aside and come back to a drawing over and over again to get a new perspective on it.  So this one was competed over a week or so I guess.  I forgot to mention it is graphite pencil ranging from H to 9B on picture framers' mat board (the really smooth stuff).

Very nice! Love the soft values and movement shown in the background...

Thanks for the kind words all. Have posted same drawing for critique on wet canvas and had the comment that the drawing is boring. Any ideas about how to "jazz it up", I guess I was aiming for a sense of calm and peace with the tone and rendering but may have taken it too far! I guess it always comes back to the old argument of personal taste?!
