Description Well, seeing how You guys like it, I have made a conclusion to leave it the way it is and add bit more about the picture itself: [quote from SebastiΓ£o Salgado web]
"With dead eyes worn out by sand storms and chronical infections this woman managed to survive..."


May 6th, 2007 This is something I have been working on lately and still..I feel like it is missing something so any critical comments are welcome and with Your help result could look better Basically, this is so called WIP


ref pict by SebastiΓ£o Salgado


"These faces that scream without opening their mouths are "other" faces no longer. No longer, for they have ceased being conveniently strange and distant, innocuous excuses for charity that eases guilty conscience."
--Eduardo Galeano


Tools: pencils HB-3B, rubber, fuzzy&glossy paper {smth I understood - never use that again }

thank you! I assume you mean, "the drapped material"? When I started to draw it I didn't think of it, then somehow I thought but then...I have some other idea about the contest... So, who knows, perhaps this will be one

No way it's a WIP. Everything looks just great. I love the sketchy feel to it and I have to agree it's a very powerful image. In my opinion, it's one of your best works.

I lOVE this one, so...more of this? Or maybe you can try different subjects other than humans...lets say, something like what you did for "Musician's Life", I really love the concept behind that...

or something new all together! I really like your realistic art, it is soooo good :3 >.<
