Description I'm still trying to find 'my own style' of drawing at the moment...
I enjoyed doing the face but I find it so difficult to draw nice smooth hair like some artists do on dA...

-2B & 4B pencil.
-A4
-roughly about 10hours?
-reference picture [link]

Dedicated to Sonal & Chris. Aw~ back in the old Michelle Branch days...

This is an excellent picture of Michelle Branch.

You are talented and I don't think you messed up on the hair at all.

Keep up the excellent work. Please keep drawing, because you are great at it.

God Bless you, your family and friend's.

i agree. i dont understand how people are so good at drawing hair, and then the faces arent as good.

Shut up do you need my help doing hair, what you've done is GREAT! The only thing that slightly looks off is the shoulder strap (looks like it's broken because it stops before the edge of the shoulder) and the eye lashes look a bit stumpy - brilliant picture though, I love it xx

heavenelymist In reply to Cerbercus [2006-02-11 02:54:05 +0000 UTC]

Excellent job. You could have done smudging, but you decided to do it the hard way. Perfect geometry. ^-^

This is lovely! I don't think that the hair looks bad. It fits the picture. It looks wind-swept. Good job! Great shading! I love it! Keep up the good work!

Did you use a reference photo? If so I'd love to see it.
Beautiful, the tones on her skin are particularly nice, but the hair in the lower left behind her neck and above her ear looks too blurry and unreal.

Yeh I agree with the hair at the bottom. Yup, I just uploaded the reference photo- [link]

Yeah I know what you mean, when I draw hair it always comes out kinda scratchy. You can do it better than me though! Great drawing!
