Description
I can't tell how happy I am to have completed this one. I started it early March and I can't count the hours I put into it. I wanted to make it very real + make a very intense stare of the girl, like she is watching over her rose and don't want anyone to touch it, yet she is still tempting the viewer to want it. In a symbolic way.It's one of the pencil drawings I have done I feel most satisfied with.
I used a beautiful girl, Jeanine, as model for this (same model I used for I'm so sorry: [link] ). The drawing is a combination of her picture and a rose of mine. I changed the left hand position to fit the idea of her holding her rose. A lot of hours also went into the rose as I wanted the details and structure to really show.
Made with 2B - 6B pencil.

This is very very good! You have lots of patience. Something I was not blessed with. The shading is wonderful and I love how you changed the position of her hand with just your imagination. I couldn't have done it, I suck at drawing hands!
PLEASE TELL ME HOW YOU GET THE HAIR TO LOOK SO GOOD!!!!?

Thank you very much
It wasn't easy at all, I was a bit afraid it wouldn't look natural.
As for hair I don't think there is a certain trick. I try to use thin lines and to add a lot of highlights to make it shine.

I just love the light work in the eyes...provides the touch of realism that was needed...not so happy with the rose though.

Thank you. I feel happy with the eyes as well, they took a very time to create. Well, I do feel happy with the rose, I feel I did my best and it turned out as I wished.

Can I ask what you don't feel is right with the rose? I might see it when I am told, sometimes you can't see it yourself...

The eyes are absolutely incredible. The highlights, the reflections... this is beyond photo realism. You do have your skills with drawing. And beautiful models.

I thought so too when scanning it till I compared with the original as she does have rather thin long fingers... but I agree with you, they do look a bit too small.
