The drawing and description make me want to look into this story.
Very good job with the expression. She looks tired, sad and a little hardened but ready for any verbal dispute. Or physical, who knows. And a cigarette always adds to the atmosphere.

Thank you! Susana's story was so interesting and her description so clear, it made illustrating it for her simple. I'm glad her delightful description came through into the drawing. When it comes to my drawings, I also look at them and go: "yuck".

I like the emotions portrayed in this piece. You can feel that the protagonist is untrustworthy.

Thank you for the comment (and adding this piece to your favorites). Susana Vieira's description on her journal made it so easy for me to draw this deviation.

Susana,
please do write more. I'd love to do more illustrations for your story and it has been a real honor to do so.
It's great having you as a friend.

I try my best to create a feeling of time and place in my works (although, I'm not always successful). Thank you.

Great work on woman's expression. I like the background too. Very well crafted!

Thanks! The background was the hardest part o the drawing to do, because I was afraid it would come out as a muddled mess.

Beautiful work with the pic overall. The background brings so much space into it and makes it very realistic. The woman in front is well disquised into a man and the shading on her look great.

I appreciate your comment. I always enjoy a challenge (even when I fail at it miserably, so it was a lot of fun trying to draw a person who is feminine in appearance, but passible as a man).
My work on Susana's drawing reminded me of the fun and joy doing an art trade with you.

What an honor for me, and one that I am extremely grateful for. I use your delightful half of the art trade as my desktop image.

Thank you! And Susana's story is very interesting, which is why I illustrated it (besides her being a good friend). Her description made my job of illustration so much easier.

I highly recommend you view her story on her journal. I love her photography, she's very kind and smart, and I am deep in her debt.
