Description I made this at work yesterday.. used a magazine picture for reference for the placement of the features and the pose.. I know the eyes are off and the nose is slanted..and the fingers are screwed.. oh well..
all I did in photoshop was mess with the levels and enhance the saturation quite a bit to give it more of a blue tint

interesting. i like the texture, and you have a very keen sense of adjusting colour, tones, etc. unfortunately, as much as i admire the technical ability behind this particular piece, i am instantly gratified but not much inspired to look in deeper.

So beautiful. She looks like a porcelain doll that came to life to kill people. Great work on it. Her eyes look empty and emotionless. Brilliant.

i have just started getting back to drawing and such and was working with charcoal a couple of weeks ago and broke out in hives. let me tell you how annoyed i was because ilove charcoal!!!!

this pieces illustrates so well what i love about the medium - the rich darkness of it, the depth. what a truly inspirational piece!

when i get a chance to run down to the art store i'm going to pick up some different charcoal - i'm hoping it was just the willow i ws allergic to - or maybe just that brand? you make me want to run back out and create...

Nice job dood. The only thing that I think you should concentrate on is loosening up a bit rather then worrying about getting the features so perfect.
Easier said then done with unfamiluar mediums but I think that you have what it would take.

Keep it real sistah.

luci-fer [2002-11-04 04:10:50 +0000 UTC]

Very detailed and realistic charcol female.
The only improvement I can think of would be if the left eye had the same shine that the right eye does. Otherwise I liked all of this, particularly the pose and the colours.
Skilled image with a lot of expression.

fairyinboots [2002-11-03 22:28:04 +0000 UTC]

Beautiful, indeed. My one qualm would be that the face looks a bit disconnected from the neck, which shows no sign of twisting.

Other than that, great as per usual
