Description Taylor Swift portrait,
100x90cm
all done in pencil,
took 16 days, 6 too long in my opinion, 6 days that I was in a bad mood and decided not to draw at all. But still counts, as I finished after 16 days :/ Not too happy about it...

For versions in progress check my blog updates:

Comments greatly appreciated! (:
Thanks!

*OH! And well, I am not a fan of Taylor myself, but noone can doubt that she's pretty, and this is what is always pleasant to draw (:

if you find rubber is to thick, I said I cut rubber sharp before every move, every touch on paper. you can not imagine how thin the line could be! . for tattoos you ll have to design them so you leave white not filled, blank, which needs the precision I believe you have (; the same happens with rubber: it can not erase everything, i still leave places where i will use it - in lighter layer of pencil. * pencils. I found all pencils above 2B too soft I use HB, and 2B only. only. that means i have 2 pencils (2B mechanic pencil 0.5mm and HB mech.pen. 0.3mm), but for most of the time I use 2B one. but the art I do is definitely inappropriate to be a tattoo Eraser I use is pink and blue, one of the cheapest, certainly not hard, but never kneaded. just a soft, regular one. * paper. I haven't found a perfect paper yet. very comfortable one is bristol that you wet in a bath and dry with newspapers and leave it for a day to dry. also I use Fabiano, Canson... and none of them is my favourite :/ i found that my master uses "Arches Paper" so I'm gonna try this one too ([link] ) hope it was helpful again

Yes, really helpful. Thank you very much. I usually use from 2b to 8b lol. I'll try harder ones then. About the paper, I usually use canson, but it doesn't fully satisfy me eather. Guess I have to look around a little. Once again, Thank you very much

I really don't know what to say... This is just... stunning. I really am just.. blown away. It looks like I could reach out and touch her. Really, this is amazing. Looks like a photograph. Speechless. Great job.

VERY nicely done!!! The only critique i could suggest would be to add more slight shadowing around the edge of her face (left side, her right). I think that would give it more depth, but overall quite impressive!
