Description Ok, so this one was unexpected xD Yesterday I just felt like drawing and... this came out. As I started to draw her face, she began to remind me of all those poor young children, girls who are sold to marry older men. So I went with the concept.

Lost innocence is something very personal to me, so I sort of automatically love this drawing. >w< It is extremely good though.

Thank You I can also relate unfortunately... But expressing this helps coping with the negative feeling. I have also drawn other pieces about lost innocence (part of the project - based on my life) if You're interested in checking them out : "Please protect my innocence", "Let's drink to that" and the first part of the project "Childhood memory: There was once a little girl..."

Very nice !
If I can give some advice, the eyes aren't looking in the same direction because of the pupil position !
But it's actually very well done !

The lack of color I feel really makes this piece. The pencil strokes are bold but yet lively. Which is ironic considering the nature of this piece. I really love the way you drew the facial features. We can really connect with this girl by looking at her. Beautiful work.

nice but a hand is a bit to small. A hand is the same lenght like a face

Ahness In reply to windinthehair [2013-03-16 13:42:26 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I have problems with hands and still learning to draw them ^^' But I don't know if the "length of the hand = length of the face" rule applies to children. I couldn't find information on that. So if You have any info I would be glad if You shared it Thanks for the comment!

This is beautiful! The shading and highlights are really lovely, and the facial expression too! Some slight constructive criticism: i think the eyes are a little too big to be realistic Not to say they aren't lovely and create a very nice stylistic feel, but if you're aiming for realism, it doesn't really work. But if you aren't, then it fits in really well. I love it, keep up the good work!

Thank You very much! Yes, I wanted the eyes to be that big I'm more into half realism, half 'fantasy' style ^^ but thank You for the tip, I really appreciate it
