Description This picture was a long time in the making.

Ever since I first saw:

by:

I knew I had to draw it. Unfortunately, I knew at the time he posted it, that if I attempted to draw it, i would never be able to do the photo justice. So I waited. And waited. And waited. Until I developed my skills more.

And even then it took me a while to get it all the way I wanted. I must have drawn this picture completely three or four times. And I nearly gave up on it. But I decided to try one more time. And voila.

I am aware that I changed some things from the original photo, and this was done intentionally. But, anatomically speaking, I tried to stay as close to the photo as possible, except in a more high contrast fashion.

So, yeah, here you go, enjoy.

And the stupid arm gave me so many problems. Gah.

Ooh, this is great! And with it being upside-down, I didn't actually realise this was a drawing until I turned my head around to look at it properly, haha. It totally does that photo justice. ^^

...is my computer just dumb, or is it supposed to be upside down?

Well...from what I can see of it, (without standing on my head) the smoke is pretty. LOVE IT. I really do. And I like the texture you have going on with the hair.

Yep, it's supposed to be upside down.

And thank you! I appreciate it.

Okay. It's just...no one else had mentioned it being upside down and I was confused. :S

Three claps for Rachel.

I LOVE IT!!!!

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! times 3! -he he-

I love your black and white coloring style. It's clean and crisp for the white and highlights, but a bit more . . . messy . . . no . . . loose, imperfect? . . . no . . . just the opposite of the crisp white. Sentence fail there . . . Anyway, the smoke turned out great and the pic's great!

I'm glad you waited. It really shows your improvement!
