Artist's Comments

Oh my god.
OH MY GOD.
OH MY GOOOOOODDDDD.

This took me over 20 hours. I worked a few weeks on this. The hair took FOREVER but I think it was really worth it in the end. @_@

I think I've finally reached my goal, of being the best I could before my 15th birthday. Even though my birthdays not until July, I still think this is one of my best pictures ive ever done. o_o

Hope you like this.:)

Media: pencils, 2B, 5B, 9B, 6H, and N3, N4 dynagraph
I use paintbrush for blending

The face shading WIP can be seen for this drawing here => [link]

Haha! I know the feeling of relief when you finish hair. Its something that always looks a little wrong until its completed.

All the better you shall be for not giving in to it ;D
