Also, the most darkly shaded part is known as the mons Venus.

After I finished this sketch and looked at it, I decided that it reminded me of this little figure, the Venus of Willendorf. Statues such as these can be found all throughout human history as representations of both feminine beauty and the potential for the creation of life. Venus, to me, is a name for any diety that enbodies those characteristics and not just a name for the Roman goddess of love. Hope that makes sense ^_^.

Actually, the way I work with pen, I DO make quite a lot of mistakes at the onset. I just start out light and keep layering until they diminish. But, I also like the history of that process.

this image popped up nicely to coincide with outkast's "let me take you on a funky ride". bootiful.

I think the title is appropriate, in a weird sort of way.
Nice work, as always. ^_^
