Description
Well, it's finished. I actually don't mind how light the drawing is now, although usually my drawings are darker than this. I drew this picture of the lovely . You can find the reference picture in her gallery, I have a pounding headache right now and don't feel like going and looking for it. I could have spent alot more time on this...I sort of got lazy at the end. Sometimes that happens when I am not really attached to the subject. All in all though I think it's a decent drawing.12"x18" Fabriano Hotpress
3B, H, 2H pencils
tissue, blending stumps, and q-tips for blending
About 15 hours

The lightness and soft tones were just great on this one. I hope she enjoys it as much as I. Instant

yeh, the same happened to me in the part of making the MEITTI's REALM cookbook. You have any hints on how you make yourself start drawing again?

That's brilliant, I love this lighter style, and it suits the 'innocence' of Shai's face in the pic. Everything else is amazing, of course.

Hey Brian,
The shine on her eye, lips and ear gives this drawing a really great realistic look. Shadow and highlight on the white of the eye really adds life.
Excellent work.

damn Brian, you improve so much with every piece you do... this is stunning, i'm thinking its one of the best you've done. You've mastered every single little texture, the reflections in the eyes amaze me... i wish i could give you a little constructive critisism, but i cant find one damn thing wrong with it! the face looks a bit flat around her jawline maybe? or is that just me? a little more shadow around there could help.
Stop being so good! you're putting all of us to shame! haha
Instant and definate
keep up the miracles Brian

I like the title you've given this... it's a good play on her name, haha.
The skin looks lovely and the highlights on her lips and eyes are what really make this great.

This is fantastic, it's identical to the original. I love how you've done her eyes, and how you made her lips so glossy. You are amazing at shading skin, it just looks perfect.

Amazing pic of a very lovely model.
Why is it called "Not Shai" when Shai actually is her model name?

i really love how you do hair in pencil drawings -- mehh hair for me has been a trial and error type of thing. for hair to come out successful in my drawings...theyre probably just good accidents . any tips?
