Artist's Comments

Started from direct observation, and finished much much later with photo reference, I've finally (kind of) finished.

I personally dislike it, and the paper I did this on is horrible! I never realized at the time... I've grown too used to the better stuff! Graphites just dont seem to go on it very well.

Also the proportions off... think its due to the change between references, but ahwell. Atleast I can display it for my A level display.

The shading is gorgeous as always :) The hair and eyes are perfect, but you are right...there is something just not right about this...I think its the lips! But you shouldn't be so hard on yourself :) :)

Lol yeah I agree with you, it is the mouth.

But sadly anything I try to do doesnt go as planned. The paper is so thin and smooth that you either skim the surface lightly, or you stab it and make a dark line, no such gradient between :s
