Description Pencil on A4 bristol. Original by Egor Zalivin [link]
Had a bit of block and it was driving me insane, had to draw .. anything. Saw this and thought about freedom of speech. You have to watch what you say or post these days or the thought police will pay you a visit ... sshhh .. i better stop now, incase. Anyway, about 10 or 12 hrs, Eyes are a bit too large and the fingers look a wee bit flat but i feel better now i've had my fix of graphite .. until tomorrow

Great work Mark. I like the largeness of the eyes - they make her look a little excited as if she has something good to tell.

Yes, back and itching to get going, busy collecting references for the year so hopefully i'm not hanging around twiddling my thumbs doing nothing.

Jaymar2010 In reply to markstewart [2012-02-08 23:50:55 +0000 UTC]

Twiddling thumbs ha! Thought i was the only one! I got a lot of references, but i'm thinking about trying a few techniques with em you know, instead of just drawing as is i'm gonna add a lil piece of me to it, kinda like a manipulation. I gotta lot of things i wanna try, like 3D effects, broken glass and the torn page look, adding a lil emotion and life to my pieces...
