Behold, the Scales of LibraOriginal is here [link]
My ruler is the planet of Love, I am an incorrigible idealist and quintessential romantic.
Affectionate, warmhearted, sentimental, naturally optimistic, I do everything in my power to please.
I strive for balance and harmony and am happiest when my environment is ordered and serene.
I love the fine arts and believe beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I see both sides of every situation to the point that it makes me ridiculously indecisive.
I usually find myself playing mediator before I even know it.
I don't love money, but I love what it can buy me.
On that note, I am well aware that money isn't happiness,
and have found that peace of mind is.
Reference: I didn't bother too much with proportion with this one, I was aiming more for creative flow. I sketched the face using various different faces that I found in a magazine mostly for facial feature placement and shadows. I'l

Astounding work (as has been previously mentioned). I was wondering if you mostly used the flesh color PrismaColor pensil or if you know how to layer a few other colors for basic skin tone. (I only have a set of 12 PrismaColors and geting a flesh tone out of them is maddening!)
Thank you either way for such a breathtaking work!

I used a variety of different flesh tone pencils, as well as other colors as well. You should consider purchasing the 120 prisma color pack. It's about $55-60 on ebay, that's where I got mine! 12 colors just isn't enough if you want to get an accurate portrayal of flesh color...also, i layed on many layers to get the piece to look like it's painted. a website that helped me a lot can be found here: [link] take a look around and make note of his tips & tricks, I wouldn't have been able to draw this piece without his great advice! Hope this helps

Whoa, this is beautiful. I especially love the colors blending in her eyes and how they mix so well with the scales. The yin yang fits perfectly with the concept of Libra and balance; nice touch. Overall, great work!
