I like the touches of colour with the flowers. =)

If I may say, I think that this is lovely. Though, the hair looks a little wirey. Advice? Try not to make each hair an individual pencil stroke. This makes it look unreallistic.

Her face is stunning. And I love the color added from the lipstick. The flowers, for me, over-do it just a tiny bit.

Overall rating: B+

Definitely beautiful stephg68, the splashes of color stand out against the graphite & bring to life the center focus point (which is Gemma). i hope to see more of your art work. keep it up! -Nixirhei

Yeah, scanners sometimes distort the picture. My scanner sucks, so I can't really put up any pics right now.
