"Couples"

I would like to share this lovely drawing I did few years ago...
I have it uploaded on my fb page, but first time in here.
That friend did ask me for commission, he chosen this lovely photo where he's enjoying a good time with his wife on the beach ...
It was a great challenge to draw it nicely.
The shallow water is surrounding them, and his tattoos all around, lol...
I remember it was tough time to follow the tattoo letters and curve them properly on his chest...
As usually it was mobile phone shot, lack of resolution had made me texting my friend to ask what is the writing - because I couldn't see it properly, lol 
I tried my best, and this is the final effect of my pencil work.
Any comments and critique very welcome

Thanks ...
It took me great time as well from start to finish, but well worth it as they're keep sharing it on their facebook every time and then

What an amazing drawing!! I find more detail to admire, the more I look at it. - the reflections in the glass, the metal jewellery, especially her little bracelet. Also the difference between their skin tones and textures where the arms are linked - wow!

Thank you so much for your appreciation Mike!
Yes, I tried my very best to draw this portrait as best as I was capable of ...
I'm glad you've mention the difference between their skin tones!
It's not as obvious to spot at first, you need to concider it and somehow expect it first to find out the subtle difference I was trying to achieve
It's been couple of years now, so I don't remember what pencils and what orded I used for their skin tone, but I remember I was adding an extra layer (or more) with some separate pencil over his body...
For the hair I used the *denting technique as well, so firstly I made some indented hair marks, then I've begun covering that area with graphite ...
*(denting technique? - am I naming it correctly?)
I'm very pleased with your comment Mike, thank you very much!
