Lucy: The Copy

 My drawing lacks the sharpness of the original and I couldn't quite figure out how to achieve the texture of the stone. That's something I'd be interested to hear advice on. But in terms of proportion, I found the grid to be very helpful. I stayed fairly faithful to the image, but if I were to bring up some departure from the original I might say that because my pencil lines are softer than those created by the camera lens, and because I chose to outline the image not with solid black but clearly sketched charcoal, my has more of a mystical, unreal-like quality than the original.
