Advice on critics and the artist
This is a very detailed, and very smoothly shaded piece of work; I like it a lot. Minor flaws are always present in any picture, probably even the Mona Lisa but its very good overall and deserves either a 9 or 10 for effort, style, and outright artistic talent.
to the other critics though, I dont think writing detailed reviews about character flaws is a good thing when its a portrait of a woman when the artists icon is of a similar picture..clearly possible that this picture is a self image and your reviews might be degrading towards her.
Again though, your artwork overall is very eye-appealing and talented none-the-less; Keep at it!
