Description
Would you believe me if I told you that I submitted the "close-up" just to avoid to submit a "number 13" step of this series?Going on with the hair, I'll make a few changes compared to the reference picture because that photo is cropped and I don't want to obtain the same effect in my drawing and there are a few wisps of hair that I don't like a lot so I'll change them or delete them.. well you'll see
As always thanks a lot for your visit

It's just perfection, really. It's so realistic, every little detail. Amazing, still can't wait to see it done.

thank you so so much! I've seen there are a lot of talented people there and amazing ART!
My work belongs to "traditional" though.. I've read the heading says: Digital

Sophquest In reply to LucaTedde [2007-07-14 11:08:37 +0000 UTC]
Absolutely my pleasure!!
I do know that you're work is in the Traditional category...I put my article in
digital though...only because...it includes so many different categories from
which I browse art to find the pieces that I'm featuring.
Initially, I tried to put the article in 3 different categories, Trad. Dig. and
Photography....but, 2 of them were deleted for repetition sake.
So...I decided to just choose 1 place to put the article...and since the
majority of my choices are from Digital....it won!
I guess I'm trying to avoid having to split my 'Wall of Wow's' into 3
categories and having to do 3 different articles on Wednesday, but
perhaps I should... I dunno...
THank you for your interest and input! Sophie

Hey April, I hope you managed that "fixed background" for that site and won you battle against frames
Thanks a lot for the comment, you know every new drawing we do should be better than our previous ones and show all the things we learned , shouldn't it?

Aprilart In reply to LucaTedde [2007-08-01 02:47:38 +0000 UTC]
Nope, not yet, but I don't have time to care right now.
And you are absolutely right. Otherwise we cease to grow.

Ok, Luca, you have to stop teasing us with WIPs!!
Although I really enjoy them..this is going to be so perfect when done, everytime I see a new WIP of this drawing I'm amazed by it all over again. The hair looks just perfect, specially the part on her left (right from our point of view) it just looks so real...I wish I could draw hair like that!
And I better don't start with her skin and face...it's gorgeous...
