Maybe the two have a similar heritage

Funny, I can only see her in this (pic below). I guess because I don't know the model's face as well as you, you've handled her so gently in the drawing it makes sense its not fan art, and better for it.

Is this the Orphan Black actress? She has a wonderful face. I love the feel of this drawing.
