Artist's Comments

I can say I'm glad that I've finished this one,
even I'm not that happy with the result.
I haven't had the time to use the technique I actually planned for doing the hair, and a hospital stay cropped up.
So, lot of working time was lost.
I was pleased with the first WIP, but the hair looks way too unrealistic.

Thanks to *ihearthurrt for giving me permission to draw this beautiful photo, originally titled "there goes"


• A3
• drawing paper 110 g/m²
• mech. pencils: 0.3 HB, B
• over 50 hours

Bereaved certainly does her reference an honor, and despite what she says about the hair, I think it looks amazing. The reflections! The lighting! Need I say more?"

Well, Bereaved, I'm incredibly impressed, I thought this was a photograph and I don't honestly know what you could have done to improve it. What would you have done to her hair to make it more realistic? And how did you get that skin tone with pencil? You can see her tiny pores! Do share ;)
