Thanks Shelley, i'm a sucker for this type of reference and chiaroscuro art in general and i jumped at the chance to do this. I'm already looking for more of them to get stuck into

The first piece in 2015 that goes into my 'Best of the Best' folder - simply breathtaking Mark - I tend to avoid references that have a 'dark into black' area, such as here with the hair on the right hand sight (as you look at it), but you have done an amazing job of transitioning the two, and the softness of the shading is wonderful - what size is this mark?

I'm not sure any of us get beyond our own insecurities when it comes to the art work we produce - I know most of mine ends up in a bottom drawer or the bin, despite protestations from family and friends. Β In your case I cannot see why you are anxious, this is true art - art in its most majestic format. Β It would be a disaster for the art-world (let alone you personally) if your eyes failed to the point when you could not draw any-more, selfishly I hope your passing on your skills to someone

Definitely something to consider for the future for sure. Would be an honour

Breath taking art! It's drawings like this that motivate me to practice more, i'm awed by your skill and the powerful emotions, I especially love the light and the way i falls on her shirt, shaping the contours of her body, beautiful, subtle and incredibly real.

(Jaw drops) I first thought it's one of those boring B & W photos supposed to look emotive. But damn is this well drawn. Amazing shading and highlighting skill. Great detailing, esp. on the shirt. Really impressive!

Had to. While reviewing works I also look at the category so that helped
