I drew this up quickly, thinking of Juliet as she drank from the vial the Friar gave her to fake her death.

Full verse from Romeo and Juliet play,
Act IV Scene I, by the Friar:

Hold, then; go home, be merry, give consent
To marry Paris: Wednesday is to-morrow:
To-morrow night look that thou lie alone,
Let not they nurse lie with thee in they chamber:
Take thou this vial, being then in bed,
And this distilled liquor drink though off:
When presently through all they veins shall run
A cold and drousy humour, for no pulse
Shall keep his native progress, but surcease;
No warmth, no breath, shall testify thou liv'st;
The rose in thy lips and cheeks shall fade
To paly ashes; thy eyes' windows fall,
Like death, when he shuts up the day of life;
Each part, depriv'd of supple government,
Shall, stiff and stark and cold, appear like death;
And in this borrow'd likeness of shrunk death
Thou shalt continue to-and-forty hours,
And then awake as from a pleasant sleep.
Now, when the bridegroom in the morning comes
To rouse thee from they bed, there art thou dead:
Then---as the manner of our country is---
In thy best robes uncover'd on the bier,
Thou shalt be borne to that same ancient vault
Where all the kindred of the Capulets lie.
In the mean time, against thou shalt awake,
Shall Romeo by mty letters know our drift,
And hither shall he come; and he and I
Will watch thy waking, and that very night
Shall Romeo bear thee hence to Mantua.
And this shall free thee from this present shame;
If no unconstant toy, nor womanish fear,
Abate thy valour in the acting it.

That's really pretty. I love the angle and the expression on her face. It's very detailed and 'real.'

Very nice. I love your shading... very emotional. I love hoe you highlighted her face
wow. So dark, so beautiful, encompasses the whole feeling of Romeo and Juliet
