Artist's Comments

I am so deeply in awe of the beauty of this lady that I had to draw the photograph that inspired this picture; I cannot get over how beautiful she was.
Graphite on paper, freehand.

You have an amazing use of Shading, the line work is great and value makes it stand out greatly. I love the hair, the detail to it makes it look so real. The only thing that looks odd is the shadow under her neck, since the light source is hitting right in the middle of her, it just looks a little to dark. I dunno, maybe its just me. Good work by the way.! i love it!

This is gorgeous, I LOVE the hair. My only problem is her left ear, it looks too low. Maybe it is me! Maybe I am crooked!

Anyway, this is VERY nice!

I see it too, the ear is lower then the right, that may need a change as well.

Part of the ear thing is artistic and part is photographic. When you look at the photograph it is a little odd because it isn't apparent that the lights are from slightly above, which casts a very black shadow on her neck, and then the angle is so little that you appear to see her face straight on, but in actuality we aren't, she is slighly tilted making her ear a little lower on the left. However, I wasn't as careful as I should have when I drew the outline and didn't define the hair as well as I should, so the ear actually is slighly wider than it should be which makes it more obvious which draws attention to the misleading angle. :)
Good times!
