This marks the first time that I did not work from a reference image for the figure! It was interesting to see how her features played themselves out along the way, with tweaks here and there to add more human qualities. I based it all on what I have learned and how I thought the lighting should look as it played across her features. My portraits can often "err" on the side of alien and they usually have to be reigned in a bit due to the feedback from clients. This is also the most detailed drawing that I have ever done and I am very happy with how it turned out.
