Tools: Derwent pencils, putty, tissues, stubs and the best invention ever the Auto Pencil Sharpener

your artwork is far more incredible than mine, with the amazing shading and the spot-on proportions. however, as a bit of advice, make the hairstrands thinner for more realism. it is great though - i especially love the water!

This is a really good drawing, I really like it. The look in her eyes is just so alive, so well captured. The only thing that somehow caught my eye in a not so good way, is the hair. You have a unique style, but in some places the hair just lessens the realistic touch in this picture. But hey, this is just my opinion - and I can only imagine that I could draw as well as you do.

silverwolf71190 [2009-09-18 23:11:48 +0000 UTC]

This is very beautiful! The shading is very soft, I like how you did it. And the hair, how long did that take? It flows so naturally.

Yeah, that's part of the patience issue. I have to gget it done once I start. But, that's what makes for different art styles and finishes anyhow.
