Description
9x12 Bristol SmoothGraphite Pencils (2H-4B)
This piece took a lot longer than I thought it was going to, but I'm reasonably pleased with the result. Rather than rushing the piece within 8 straight hours of continuous work, I spent an hour or two here and there over the course of 6 days. The dancer is a girl who dances over at The Velvet Hookah out in Dallas, Texas.

I think this is your best piece! looks wonderful, I think deciding to draw such a thing full of details is a challenge on it's own. I like how you treated the details on the dress and the body. my only concern will be that on the dark area in the back ground, I can see lines going in all directions, I usually try to work all my lines in the same direction because it distracts the eye sometimes. very well done, hope to see more of your work.

Beautifully done, I must say. If I can offer a small piece of advice, I think the fingers of her right hand could use a little bit more contrast.
I love the detailing, and your use of negative space.

wow fabulous work. you are really good with values, and the detail in the drawing is outstanding! you even put in the freckles on her body. this is very photo-realistic, good job.

Thank you. Freckles and moles are details that usually are missed because they show imperfection, but I prefer to think of them as adding to the uniqueness of the subject.
