I don't think I quite captured the perspective, her head and arm should have been slightly smaller. But apart from that I'm quite happy with this one. Both of her hands look nice and relaxed too.
See a larger version of Girl with pillow (Reclining charcoal figure drawing) on my new website.
'The portrait is one of the most curious art forms. It demands special qualities in the artist, and an almost total kinship with the model.' - Henri Matisse
