At first glance it doesn't look like a scan. I thought maybe from digital camera. Most people I know that do pencil art or charcoal ect use large sized media to do the work on, so naturally I thought it was too big to have been scanned. I was only curious thats all. You should stay in practice, it will eventually pay off. The work is really good. The one thing I like about it apart from the fantastic shadow work is the fabric that shes wearing that you can see through. You don't see that in pencil work very often. I thought the hair could have used a little more attention however, but over all I thought it was fantastic work.
