Description Daria’s meadow

This is the first drawing that I would never do without DA. The above three, Monnalisa, Gregory House and homeless warrior, are all children of DA and somehow they owe to DA their existence, but this one in particular is all branded DA.
For the first thing the reference is a photograph that Daria Pitak [link] kindly allowed me to use, and you can see the original here:
Thanks again Daria.

Secondly, it is a drawing that took me a lot of commitment. I would not have thought of doing, for the amount of time, before seeing many artists struggling with the same time’s problems.
It 's the fourth of the 'new series' and is a portrait. I really liked the look of the original photograph and the way the light play on the beautiful face full of freckles.
I did my best and I tried to capture her original beauty, I hope I have done a enjoyable job.

start: 20 August 2012
End: 27 September 2012
Total time: about 70 hours
Paper: Fabriano watercolor art, 300 gr
Dimensions: 30 x 45 cm
Pencils from 6b to 6h and watercolor pencil

I apologize in advance to all those who will be so kind to faving my drawing: this time I can’t thank you all one by one. For the last two drawings I had to spend two weeks in front of the computer without having time to draw. It 's something that makes me very happy but is too demanding because I have (luckily) many friends.
However, to answer all your comments and I thank you in advance for the fav that are always very welcome

If you have time I'd love to know how you managed to get crisp white lines for the hair, especially on such a dark background. I always have difficulty with this. What kind of eraser do you use? I always try to plan out where my whitest areas will be ahead of time and keep them clean but they always end up smudged or something!

francoclun In reply to melindajh [2014-02-07 08:26:59 +0000 UTC]

I don't use eraser. Try to search online 'negative drawing' and 'indentation', it shoul be useful

Thanks! I've tried indentation before but it was horrible... I think i need more practice   Thanks for the tips

Agree with you: indenting need a lot of practice and the right tools (also the paper is important)

Incredible work!  This portrait appears to be flawless!  I really admire how well you executed the lighting and freckles--these are things that would have discouraged me from ever attempting the piece in the first place.
