Artist's Comments

I really enjoyed this drawing. Its so soft and emotive and one of those pieces that really stick with you even after you have finished and moved on to the next project. Seriously I didn't want to stop working on this portrait, it just kept drawing me into it.

A HUGE thank you to :iconauriebelle: for allowing me to use her gorgeous photograph (entitled the same) as reference for this piece. I am forever indebted my dear! :hug:

93% of teenagers listen to rap. If you are one of the 7% that still listens to real music, post this in your signature.

Wow. There's something really compelling about this piece. It's fascinating and slightly disturbing at the same time because the tight close-up kind-of adds this neat tension to the piece. The expression is powerful, but kind-of vague at the same time -so the viewer isn't always sure what emotion is being expressed. Is it bad? Is it good? A mix of the two? And of course you've done a great job with all the technical stuff - shading, colours, lighting, blah blah, but you knew that :D

I'll have to check out her gallery too. cool!

It's beautiful, so soft, sensual and emotive. It will be added to my favs just as soon as I can get that darn fav button to work for me again :heart: :hug:
