I think it's great! One can tell you put a lot of time in it.. But what's an electric eraser? Never heard of one...
:iconpat-mcmichael:
ACTUALLY, it's a battery operated eraser....kind of like those things that grind down your finger nails...the eraser hear spins at a high speed ( like a drill bit).

You can teach anyone to draw what they see with their eyes. It's all together different to teach someone to draw what they see with their mind's eye!

Well this is a nice piece but it's not without criticism.

I find that alot of your work focuses so much on the technique and procedure of getting the pencilwork super-smooth that you overlook parts of the composition that don't flow very well or get flattened out. One of the biggest culprits of this piece specifically is the part where her sleeve leaves a shadow on her dress. Since there is a shadow both above and below it, the clothes lack depth and believability at that spot. The likeness of this person to Luna leaves something to be desired, and seems like it's some other random person in Luna's clothing. I would also like to see the face in the background to have less definition and clarity since it seems to be meant as an afterthought. The face also makes the right half of the composition a bit crowded compared to the left side. You could fix this by maybe putting a profile view of her in the void on the left. Another thing I've noticed in much of your work is overexaggerated reflective light zones that usually add to the flatness of your subjects.

I'm sorry for being so critical about this, but criticism helps people improve much more effectively than outright praise. Feel free to bust my chops about my work in return. :P

Very cool, I like it a lot. I really like how you blended a close up of her face with the over all drawing.
