I always admire simplicity but sometimes am at war with myself because my tendency is to want to make my work look like other people's work: lush, finished, and completely considered. Yet I love the lines of people like Gruau who seem to run a stroke in half a second and get it perfect. This one is kinda half there and half not, at least in theory.

I think you got all the right areas with beautiful simplicity. Part of me looks at this and sees Jennifer Connelly nude. Seriously. No need to sketch in all the details of her face...it distinguishing eyebrows would be enough. Of course, it may not have been her, but that's who I see. And I like it.
