Description Finally after months of procrastinating my Deviations I have decided to submit this work. Yeah, I know it's a piece of work for my Figure class assignment. I can't help putting it up though, so here it is...

So far among all the figures I've drawn, She seems to be easier to draw. It motivates me to draw her .

Anyway after a few hours of sketching and scrapping carbon particles on a peice of paper, this is what I've come up with

Thank you all for your comments, Sorry I couldn't reply all but I am very greatful for your response

HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT! She's going to eat me.

Amazing, anyhoo.

Ah! I love this picture! I did an etching of this photo in art class. I was very motivated to do the drawing as well, the photograph is just so powerful!

You've done a great job with it! You're good with fabric. I like your drawing style, very skilled. ^_^

gilaone In reply to TurkForce [2004-02-29 16:17:40 +0000 UTC]

No idea... but I'm guessing the best place to find it is on National Geographic. It's on the cover of one of the very old issues... shouldn't be that hard to find on the web because it's one of the most popular photos taken for NGeographic

Looks awesome, though I really think it should be done in color, those green eyes are the soul of the photo Also looks a bit like she's cross-eyed. The likeness and the shadowing are superb though, awesome work!

I'm familiar with the photograph, I've always loved it.
In the photo her eyes are so lovely, and I love that you've been able to continue their transparency on paper.
I recoginzed it even from the thumbnail, so that's very positive.
Nice work.

beautiful. i've seen the picture of this somewhere, but i can't remember where. national geographic, maybe? her eyes are hypnotic. perhaps that's what drew you in... that's certainly what draws me in... and as for your photo realism... that's an A+
