Description
This is a charcoal sketch of a photograph by:*m0thyyku
drawn and posted here with her permission. I thought the picture was really striking...there's something wild and primitive in the look, with the makeup and hair and stuff, and I thought it would go well in charcoal. Here's the link to the original: [link] As you can see I flipped the image horizontal, but that's just a personal preference. Be sure to check out the rest of the artist's photographs...very unique and interesting work.

Very striking. It has a wonderfully wild feeling to it.

Thanks. I really like the photograph, so it was a lot of fun to draw. And you're right, it does have a 'wild' sort of feel...I guess that's what drew me to it in the first place.

Thanks. I think it's such an interesting photograph, and it went well with the deep dark tones of the charcoal.

Great work. I love the way you do the hair on your pieces. The thumbnail view looks just like a photo. I saw the reference image as well and I do agree that the flipped version works better

Thanks. I think fly-away hair is one of the things I really need to work on a bit...I'm kinda rough and messy with it. Still, it wouldn't be any fun if I wasn't trying to improve.
