I love the halo around her head made of the fleur de lis and bullets. Her hair and her eyes look fantastic. She actually looks like a real person you could meet on the street.

The shape of her face is beautiful. You put just enough lines in just the right places to make it detailed. I love your style! I'm making you my drawing ro-model, okay?
What types of pencils do you use? Like, what size lead if you use mechanical pencil? I need to know. lol

I use HB pencils. Just the right softness, still easy to erase. Comes in handy!

This drawing is beautiful. But there are just two things that grab me. The first is the halo. I adore that halo. Its so feminine but its got a dangerous edge.
The number one thing that pulls at my heart is her eyes. They show such emotion but also such a brazen disreguard. They really make this piece come to life.
Good job.

I'm so glad her emotions come through the way I want them to. Sometimes I worry that she looks ambiguous or blank.

Me, too. Although, I have to say, the only man who hasn't let me down so far is my husband. I done good.

Sounds like you have a good one, lucky girl.
Mine hasn't let me down, maybe it's because I don't give him the chance too.
Haha.
This is a very nice piece by the way. As it has been for the last couple days, I'm obsessed.

The lighting on this is superb, it really gives the image a sort of holy feel. I love the bullets and the grenade, it sends a rather powerful message.
Her face is beautiful -- you're very gifted at drawing features. Hers are exceptional, and I like how she's looking upwards.

Your sig is amazing, did you design that or pick it up someplace?

lily-fox In reply to InorganicBoy [2008-10-10 00:37:21 +0000 UTC]
She's got a tough face to draw, even though she's designed to be easy for me. I guess because I'm so attached to her.

I thank you. I thought it was way sketchy.

Sketchy works sometimes, though. This is one of those times.

NachosNcheese In reply to Magharabi [2008-10-11 21:34:29 +0000 UTC]
I agree. Sketchiness gives it a little more life. The slight mix of tranquility and intensity in her face is something different altogether. Overall, as a composition, I'm amazed.
