Artist's Comments

So I'm working on some exhibition ideas for next year, and the more I think over my ideas and what I've already done the more I feel incredibly unsure of them. Am I not being creative? Should I rule out this and do this? Or blah, or blah? SIGH!

Wow, nice to see some drawings from you again! I think this is beautiful--very soft, and nice contrast. I guess it depends what you're going for in the exhibition. I think you're being creative in the composition of this one with the sort of dark to light gradient. You're incredibly talented though, just keep thinking about it and you'll come up with something marvelous!

Nothing to add that :iconjaxene: hasn't said already.

My only recommendation would be to define her body a bit more - I dunno how close the digital image is to the real life one.

And FTR, I think you're being very expressive/creative. The one phrase that always comes to mind with your drawings is "She macro-manages the composition to provide the best details whereas most of us pencil artists micromanage the smallest details to build the overall piece."

I dont' know anything about exhibitions, but I do know that this is very pretty, and those eyes are gorgeous.

Beautiful charcoal pencil portraits again! Is this just a one off or are there more to come?

She looks beautiful!
Love the whashed out to white-idea. Makes a nice contrast to her hair.
I would agree with some of the other comments to add more shade to her body, on the right side, that way it's more balanced against the white, and doesn't look unfinished.
You're such an amazing artist, I learn something new for every new drawing I see from you.

What doesn't kill you, makes you stranger.

My global position systems are vocally adressed; they say the Nile used to run from east to west.
