OK...I love this.
Graphite and pencil are some of my favorites.
Your detail with her hair, facial features, and wrinkles on her pants are so well done.
Your talent really shows.
I love her stance. Nice shadowing.
Beautiful presentation.
A job well done, thanks for sharing.

Beautifully drawn woman in costume. Vibrant colors, well proportioned, good shadowing, stern expression on her face showing she is to be taken seriously. Bravo. Well done

Nice composition. Well drawn to scale. The colors you chose seem to give this figure an old world quality. Nice depth with your shading and nice details on her outfit. Overall well done!

A fantastic portrait drawn in your inimitable and signature old fashioned style, with a real sense of authenticity throughout the piece. Additionally it is of a lady, whom I know nothing about but a rough guess of era and her status perhaps, dressed confidently ready for battle and in fine attire for the time no doubt (17-1800's?). The proportions and form are spot on and the life like character and expression she holds is superb. The detail that has carefully gone into each item of clothing and her weapon & sheath is brilliantly intricate, and overall a well composed work of art with real artistic integrity. Well done. :)

This is how I define a woman - delicate as a stick, but strong as a sword

excellent technique, creativity and initial impact

thanks for sharing

Beautifully executed drawing and portrait of an adventuress. This illustration would work well in a novel or a children's book. You get a real sense of the characters attitude and haughtiness. By comparison to the stick, her shadow should be longer. Good use of color and the background color works well. You have executed this very well.
