Wow, you did it!! Realistic portraits are one of the most difficult subjects to do. Especially when it is someone famous. The difficulty is that though it may be a quality work, you will always be judged by "if it looks like the person". She may be one of the most recognizable people ever, so to make her look like herself is a huge feat. You chose a detailed, complicated, high contrast composition, and pulled it off using only some proportion mapping tricks, you should be very proud! This was a huge accomplishment for you- way to go girl!! Keep it up!!! I look forward to seeing what else you can do when you put your mind to it!!
