Description
Hi everyone. I'm back with a new drawing. I've been working on this one for a while. This is a portrait of the beautiful Kelly Monaco. I did the drawing for a new step by step tutorial on my website. I did something a little different for me on this one. I tried to fade out the bottom of the portrait. I'm not sure if I was successful at this but I tried. Hope you guys like it and check out the tutorial at [link]11"x14" Fabriano Hotpress

Nice job. I like how it fades out at the bottom. It's nice to see a creative element incorporated into the portrait. It's a little more interesting than a strict copy of a photograph.

Wonderful, I especially love the way you did her hair so smoothly! Have you done other portraits before?

Nice portrait man, the only thing i'd have to say about the fading is that it starts to fade off a bit too earlyyy. Other than that, good job dude.

I do agree that the fading could use some more work. I was working on the tutorial for so long and I just wanted to get it done. Thank you
