Description Around 10 hours of good old fashioned fun
more of an experiment/exercise in charcoal, but it was very hard work, not to mention challenging to get the little details in. Still was a very enjoyable portrait to make, I love close-ups of the face

Made with hard, medium and soft charcoal pencils on Bristol Board (which I am running out of! HEEEELP!)

Anyway, I hope you like it

-----------
Reference is from the talented photographer ~Cernobyte . I noted her, but I don't think she got the note. If she's reading this and wants this drawing removed, I will remove it Anyway, go and check out her work, it's beautiful!

you have chaptured the skin amazingly with its blemishes and variations and the lighting works well giving the piece a lot atmosphere.

where do you normally get your bristol board. Is this similar to Bristol Smooth"?

anna15 In reply to glasspencil [2007-09-26 07:20:48 +0000 UTC]

I got it a couple of christmases ago from some veeery nice relatives Think it's the same thing? Or maybe Bristol have different types of paper. The one I use (or used to use as it's all gone now) is really smooth though

You cunning person, you. You flipped it! [link] The cheek freckles are caught really well, and the lips are wonderfully dark.

anna15 In reply to tetrarchangel [2007-08-09 15:37:30 +0000 UTC]

I must admit, the only real reason (other than I preferred it) that the image is flipped is because it makes it harder for people to find flaws in it
glad you like it

Someone that symmetrical would surely meet the scientific demands of beauty - you're creating something far too logical.

Wonderful work! I love how you handle charcoal and get all the texture. All those subtle details really add to the finished piece.
