This picture is at least 20 years old and was my first real attempt at a detailed portrait. It is very small (the face itself is about 1 x 1.5 inches) and took a long time (with all the erasing) to draw. This drawing was a breakthrough of sorts and is very special to me. I just found it about 2 years ago among a bunch of papers. I'm surprised it survived.

I'm not sure about the way dark neck. Is that a scarf? a shadow? It makes her face seem mounted. Otherwise, excellent. (love the 'do)tony kordos 28 May 2004
