Another great drawing from you. You did a great job on the rocks and the background is very good. I lke the comp on this one. She looks to be in deep thought over something. Her hair came out great. Nice job.

Comment from Bette Davis


This is hot stuff, pretty, the lighting and shadowing is really clarify an outstanding aptitude in dealing with graphite, very good depth in it all in all wonderful and great efforts you are, frankly, doing. The very best of luck I am wishing you.

I can not quite relate to the title, but still like the your usual dramatic contrast and expression of the girl. I also like the softness of the image.

I have noticed your drawing on this site and have been reluctant to comment since I cannot draw myself. So I will just comment how I see and feel. Your artwork is very well done. The background contrast is always darker than the girl so she stands out very well. Plenty of good detail. Especially on the face and hair. Thanks for sharing your work.

Comment from BingoStar


I really like your girl. She looks a little un decided about what she is going to do next. Maybe just needed that place to think about it. Your creations are always excellent and the shadowing behind her is great and helps her to stand out in her lighter shades. Her face and hair are done very well my friend Excellent drawing Bingo!

I sure do wish I could draw like that. Love the composition and shadowing that you have portrayed. the only thing that bothers me is what I have circled. other than that a great piece

Just out of curiosity? How many figure drawings have you done in the past year? Your shading is excellent and you can see and feel the expression. Nice job once again!
