    Thank you so very much for the review. Im actually in the middle of repainting her for the angel contest, I thought she would look good with wings so thought I would try out another fallen angel painting. I do like these classic poses, so much emotion felt within it
Comment from cleo85


I think that is perfect. I think people expressing their emotion are the most complicated; but also the most rewarding to draw. She looks like an artist of some sort. The lighting and the book give the impression. A dancer? - A writer or illustrator perhaps. Her position is impressive, It is some tiredness and wariness of body and soul what comes over to the viewer.

    Wow thank you Cleo!! I am so pleased you like her. I loved the pose and after painting fallen angel I thought I would try another figure study. Do you think she would look good with wings? I think I am going to paint her. I agree I like to think she is creative in someway, perhaps a dancer. I love poses like this they are beautiful studies of the female body yet somehow tinged with a little sadness. Thank you again for such a high rating

    What wings? Like an angel or like a fairy? i think both would work and look good, but maybe would also take some of the emotional impact of the painting. These are just three different stories; human, angel, fairy. It account what story the picture is supposed to tell.
    Your picture deserve the high rating, but you better do not pose anything soon what would require another six stars, because now I can't give any for the next 30 days.

This is so well done. I love this. I love the shading, the lighting shining down to comfort, the spacial use is fantastic. This is great. Well done, Corrina.

    Thank you Gina, I think I am going to paint her with wings as another little study next to Fallen Angel. Might well give it a bash this weekend. I do tend to like these crouched over poses. Going to run out of wall space soon lol
Comment from Anne


This is wonderful the way you have done it. The shading in this is excellent. The way you have positioned her gives the feeling of sorrow. I like the way you have her sitting on a book. I like the way you have the lines in the background. Just a beautiful and excellent work of art.

Excellent job on this. I really like the hair and the details on the head are very good. Overall the whole picture is nice looking.

Nice sketch and the mood is evident and is perfect for the title! Nice perception of the human form and the details and shadows are well done! Like the pose and the drawing is nicely done Corrina!

for a charcoal sketch this is real good stuff corrina, you have created a striking initial impact with good depth in pretty fine detail & tells the storyline brill.
overall real good composition i think, regards adrian...s.w.wales originally somerset.

Comment from jbravo46


Certainly different work for you. More solemn than used to from you. That being said, I think you did great. To my eyes the lines are perfect

    Yes not the usual from me, I will blame my sister. She wanted me to design a tattoo based on a fairy or guardian angel and I was researching loads of different poses. It really made me want to try my hand at drawing them. Was curious to see if I could do it.
Comment from amfunny


Another great sketch. I think you should do these as paintings or in color. Great job on the details. Well done.

    Thank you so much, funny you should say that, fallen angel was the draft for a large painting and then I had the itch to do another figure study after. Im tempted to redo this one with wings as well, it would be another dark painting though. I really enjoyed doing the last painting once I got over the initial fear
Comment from Jane Jenkins


I'm not an artist, so don't necessarily feel qualified to review original works. My thoughts in looking at this are the contemplative feeling that comes through is thoughtful. The lines have an order to them that are easy for the eye to follow. A very nice drawing.
