Description Same as [link] , just different mediums and styles.

I love this drawing so much! It's almost macabre and scary in a subtle, refined, and classy way...Usually I just do straight-up portraits, so this is definitely different

EDIT: I sold this today. It was the first drawing that I've ever really sold, so I have really mixed emotions right now...But overall, I'm very happy

So you can give me critiques still, but just keep in mind that I can't fix it anmore.

i love this one, its combining for outter and inner beauty in an intresting concept. i understnad that you sold it, but just something to think about, i suppose... the elbos looks a little stange, i tihnk it may just be the angel and the hip kind of fade into whatever she's leaning against. but it doesn't really matter, its such a small detail that it certainly doesn't take away the beauty of the peice as a whole.

I understand your mixed emotions of selling your drawing. I wouldnt know what to do! some of my art I just give to my friends cause I'm much too modest to go as far as having people give me money for my work. I've had a couple people I know offer to buy paintings of mine and it was like either "no theres no way I can give this up!" or "thats not necessary I'll give it to you"
most of the time I just dont want to give it up haha

Nice piece. Scary, yet couldn't reflect the truth more accurately. Could make its way to an antianorexia campaign.

very lovely. I really like the idea of the skin blending into her inner body. been wanting to do that for a long time but I need to practice more before it turns out right

great piece!!

Sure there is a trend towards the new energy efficient floucent bulbs, that last 3 times as long, use half the electricity and are cool helix shaped... but soon the world will realize that X-Ray light bulbs are the future and have absolutely no negative draw backs!

I had a little disconnect with figuring out her um. 'guts' were like a x-ray with her blouse as the outline, I think perhaps the left hand side of that torso a little help is needed to tell the diffrence between her insides and where it ends.

Meanwhile its not creepy but a little ...maybe? But a point mentioned about more contrast needed is a little true, the facial area is perfect but there is a lot of grey in the rest of her body- which I understand since we are getting that x-ray look so more shadows might be nice.

Thank you so much for your advice A few hours before I brought this to the art fair, I did fix the contrast in the body. But I didn't know that it was being sold, so unfortunately I can't really get to fixing the left side of her body. I was considering redrawing this one, so I will keep all these points in mind

Your definately making progress with anatomy, I would like to see this one fleshed out though (No pun intended). I would like to see what happens if you add contrast and detail to the whole piece.
