very nicely done. lips and face are done well and I love the old fashioned masquerade mask. unfortunately, I don't think there's enough shadow mixed into the mask or the hair to really make the elements stand out and show form. the mask itself is a little too flat to me. though I see the hint of shape to it I think it needs some deep shadows mixed in to really bring out the form and shapes within the mask. when it comes to the hair I also find it's lacking form and shape but more because there's a lack of depth to the hair again most likely because of a lack of shadows.

very nice though and I really like where this is going.  

sorted the eyes.. im still not finished as my health has taken a turn for the worse, so am leaving it a while

would love some feed back  

seamanarts:

in what way dosnt the neck fit the head etc

I think you would see far more of the neck muscles from that angle. I think you might possibly see the far shoulder as well. Something like this...

I love the feel of this painting so much, it's really coming along.

I'm afraid the eyes stillll look crosseyed though. Also I'm not sure of the angle on her left (hers not ours) wing, if it's coming out of her back it's not angles enough and is too flat.
 

thanks for that banj :) I hope I have got it a little more real like now .. have re-done the eyes now and moved the wing :)

wasnt going to do any more to this for a while but Im feeling a little better today so couldnt think of anything else to use my time up in doing :)

thank you all 

This is looking really beautiful Wendy, can't help but agree about the eyes tho.

Think it has to be down to the mask limiting the view of the eyes and the highlights on the irises are on opposite sides.
