Description Sorry for being away for so long, but I'm soooo busy at the moment.

Anyway, this is my first serious attempt at hyperrealism: though it's very far from perfect (especially in hair, eyebrows and lips) I'm quite proud and satisfied of the final result!

As usual, I had to edit it a lot with Photoshop to give it back part of the depth the scanner destroyed; I'm also aware that it's a bit too dark, but it was necessary to darken it a lot to avoid an annoying "fluo" effect in the whites...
Let me tell you what you think!

Size: Half A4
Tools: graphite (F to 5B), charcoal (black and white), black pastel, kneaded eraser

Bene, sono davvero contenta per te! Il mio 2015 non si prospetta, nel senso che non ho aspettative, nè nel bene nè nel male, ma per una volta la cosa non mi dispiace, perchè vuol dire che tutto può accadere!

Alla fine, però, dipende da noi...
Ah, intanto che ti sento, avete in programma qualche tappa col gruppo, prossimamente?

Beh, ammetto che non mi dispiacerebbe venire a sentirvi a Roma, è una città che rivedo sempre volentieri!

Caspita che bello!
E' davvero molto realistico, ammiro sia la tua pazienza che la tua tecnica.

Continua così

Scusami tantissimo la risposta tardiva, ma meglio tardi che mai si dice, no? ^^
Ti ringrazio davvero di questo commento così carino, è stato un bellissimo regalo di Natale.... E' un disegno a cui tengo molto perchè spero sia il capostipite di un nuovo filone, ancora più improntato al fotorealismo, e sapere che piace anche ad altri oltre a me è davvero bello...
Grazie di nuovo, e se non sono riuscita a farti gli auguri di Buon Natale ti faccio almeno quelli di buon anno nuovo!

Nice work, it looks super realistic, especially the eyes looks quite real

Thank you so much! Eyes to me are the most important thing in a portrait, and I strongly believe that if you nail them, the whole portrait will be good, while if you fail to make them, even if the rest of the drawing's really accurate, the final result won't be satisfying...

Oh, thank you sooo much: you're a professionist in the field of photorealism, so this is a huge compliment to me...  
I'm trying to work on my weaknesses, at the moment, and setting the right values of light and dark is surely one of them, so I'm really happy to hear they're ok, this time!
