I almost scrapped this one. Her face was in shadow, but still there, and when I felt things get too dark I wasn't sure what to do. When I panic I start darkening with quick scratchy lines as though that will somehow stop that going-down-with-the-Titanic feeling. Then I remembered how Sherrie McGraw says "Draw less, see more" and how she points out that a drawing is an artist's nervous system on paper. It reminded me to step back, take a breath, do the best I could, and not give up despite the darkness.
