29 Faces, Face 27, John Everrett Millais Study for Mariana Inspired Sketch Art...

Thus far on Sundays for the challenge, I've posted a revised sketch, but that's typically with the input of Alex of The Darker Side of Passion. However in addition to being the person I bounce art ideas off of, he's also my tech support, for which I am also intensely thankful. It has been a very tech issue filled week so I decided instead to do a study. This is actually a study of a study. John Everrett Millais of the Pre-Raphaelite movement did the "Study for Mariana" that inspired this sketch. I don't intend to paint her, it's been a while since I've done a master inspired sketch and I definitely think this may warrant a redraw at some point...

She is face 27 for 29 faces in September. The goal is to share 29 faces in the month of September.

I am also participating in Sunday Sketches. To view more Sunday Sketches, please visit:
