An intimate and beautifully rendered drawing -- well done Lizzy! . ...............Joe

Nope. Now that I think about it, neither should be cropped; but just one or the other less emphasized, or less-dark. Ideally, as I look at the thumbnail, it seems like the head area might be lighter in tone. In any case, very nice piece.

Compositionally, it could be cropped horizontally just above her ear, releasing well-deserved dominance to the well-rendered posterior. Conversely, it could be cropped horizontally barely clipping the uppermost tips of the 'f' and 't' in the fine art america watermark, thus delivering well deserved emphasis to the upper torso and head area. Or, the head area or bottom area could be less emphasized. As it is, compositionally, head area and bottom area seem to have equal emphasis, and therefore less overall interest?

Graceful and efficient command of line and subtle shadow.
