Keira Knightley pencil drawing

This is my latest drawing. It is from a photo of Keira Knightley on the red carpet at the Oscars. The necklace was a nightmare, I was thinking of just leaving it off, but decided to give it a go and that part alone took me about 8 hours, 2 painkillers and a lie down in a dark room, lol. It's bigger than any other piece I've done at 20" x 25" on very smooth hot-press paper using HB - 4B graphite pencils.
