Nice details and smothness. Did you greyscale the under layer first? I usually do my oils with a burnt umber layer. Great work and I know the time it takes to these. Oil paint takes a long time to dry if using linseed oil as well.

Yup, i do a tight pencil drawing underneath the painting.
The work is beautiful - I can't say anything against it - the only comment I have is and this is just my opinion I would have use an older or different model - she doesn't look like Jean Grey to me but that just me
Thanks again for the kind words everyone. I'm almost done with it.... (which means another few weeks for me, just haven't had the time to work on this.)
