Description Here's a drawing I did of Since this drawing is so dark, it was pretty messy. I am happy with the way the face and hair turned out but not so much the top and arm. I sort of rushed at the end and I think it's kind of obvious.

12"x15" Fabriano Hotpress
3B, F, B, 2H pencils
blending stumps, tissue for blending
about 12 hours

Another masterpiece... the contrast from the shadows is very interesting, and the subtle expression as well.

Hey Duey!
This is a very cool perspective you did! It looks very realsitic, although I think you went a bit too dark

its come out great! i love the angle especially.makes one focus right on the face..which is certainly the best part here i prolly said this before..but i just adore the skin shading technique you're doing now..makes the whole drawing all the more photo-realistic than ever. great work Brian

Great portrait. Working from a dark source is always a toughie. Nice work.

Incredible work, as usual! Even though you may have rushed the arm and shirt, it does not detract from the focus of the pic, namely her face. In that respect, they are fine. You did exceptionally well on the lighting of her face, and especially her eyes!

The rushed part doesn't bother me, I love it anyway.
Just wanted to ask if you mind if I add it to the other drawings people made of me on my homepage. Just wanna be sure it's ok. I hope to update my site soon

Oh I know that feeling so well messed up a lotta drawings that way myself - usually doing the ears? don't ask why..

anyway - you're right about the shirt, I don't think the arm stands out though - and as for the rest ? - just fantastic.. the darkness really suits you

What's the next one gonna be?

Meitti [2006-01-23 10:16:14 +0000 UTC]

though not as much realistic as other shadings, i like this one most though, it has this cool weird "movie-like" touch in it.

I like the face and hair also. Very nice. Specially the nose.

I think you could have spent a little more time on the shirt
