A huge thank you to and for featuring this drawing in their journals! Thank you!

*****Edit*****
and an even bigger thank you to her for writing the critique. I have worked more on it since she wrote it to get it darker and get more mid tones into it.....thank you again!!!.


If you haven't requested critique before.........DO IT!!! It is a fantastic idea


****************Spoiler Warning*****************

Excerpt from "Breaking Dawn" by Stephenie Meyer (My favourite of the four books)

"I could really appreciate him now - could properly see every beautiful line of his perfect face, of his long, flawless body with my srong new eyes, every angle and every plane of him. I could taste his pure, vivid scent on my tongue and feel the unbelievable silkiness of hismarble skin under my sensitive fingertips.
My skin was so sensitive under his hands, too.
He was all new, a different person as our bodies tangled gracefully into one on the sand-pale floor. No caution, no restraint. No fear - especially not that. We could love together - both active participants now. Finally equals."

Wow, you're done!! 47 hours!?!?! God, I've never worked that long on a drawing. And it turned out so well, really great work, you certainly did the reference justice. I think my favourite part are her eyes, they look so alive and have a real spark in them. Guess the work paid off, it's such a beautiful piece

Thank you so much!

I wanted to spend longer too!

I have never spent that long before, but the skin tones were so dark, it took a lot to match them. I wanted to make sure it was entered, so I entered it a day early to be safe, or I would still be drawing now! I haven't drawn such detail on skin before and I think it was a bit ambitious, but it is done now!!!

If I hadn't bought a new Bristol board pad I would change up to A3 now, but they are expensive.

I am really glad you like it, coming from you, that means a lot!

You're welcome It's hard sometimes to call a piece done, right? I'm also considering to try out A3 but it would be so much more work... I don't know whether I'd have the patience for that

Dragonsanddaffodils In reply to Raishuu [2009-04-15 12:26:32 +0000 UTC]

Definitely! I am itching to go back to it, but I am trying to view the pieces I have done as a sort of record of my progress on DA. If I go back and alter them all, then I won't know if I have improved or not.

My problem with A3 would be the time. Usually an A4 piece will take me a few weeks, I had to really put the hours in for this one cos of the deadline (I drew for 13 hours one day!). I think I would get really frustrated if it took 2 months to do one drawing It is bound to take double the time of A4 to do right?

I did take note of what you said about Rob though, Hope it is better than that one.

Very nice work. I especially like Bella's expression. It really suits the scene.

ah, it's too beautiful! The hair looks so delicate and the shading on the arms is perfect My favourite part in the drawing must be the lips, they look so , you know, touchableXD Good luck in the contest!

Dragonsanddaffodils In reply to theresebees [2009-04-15 09:46:29 +0000 UTC]

Fantastic! Cos the lips was one of the hardest bits!!!! Especially Bellas. In the download you can see Bella's flyaway hairs that are on Edwards hand, but I don't think they show up otherwise. Full view would have been too big for the full size.

Plus its only an A4, and the downloaded image is WAY bigger than my original drawing!
