Girl in the water

Every once in a while I try to break out of the circuit boards and gadgets and do something different...and what's further from circuit boards than the female form?
This is a very different piece for me. I posted another female figure about a year ago, handled differently. I enjoyed that one as I did this one but not sure if they will be in my portfolio until I feel confident that they work at that I would be able to do similar work if called upon.
With my everyday work I tend to just start drawing directly in vector, maybe do some thumbnails just for ideas but I don't scan them. With the figurative work I do a very rough sketch, scan it, and it gives me a start. I've been giving a lot of thought to trying to mix more natural shapes in with my more rigid line, this may be a way, something between this and the other.
I think she's very pretty but the face may be too Disney-esque-Fantasia- not as realistic as I would like. Again, all new territory for me.
