Description Submitted January 23, 2007

9x12 Bristol Smooth
Graphite Pencils (2H-4B)

This piece took a lot longer than I thought it was going to, but I'm reasonably pleased with the result. Rather than rushing the piece within 8 straight hours of continuous work, I spent an hour or two here and there over the course of 6 days. The dancer is a girl who dances over at The Velvet Hookah out in Dallas, Texas.

Oh my God, I didn't realize this was a drawing until after I'd been staring at it for a few minutes.

Excellent work!

Wow this is absolutely stunning work! You did an amazing job with everything, the shading, the textures, the costume. When I first saw the thumbnail, to be honest, I thought it was a black and white photograph. Beautiful work.

Thank you muchly

My only regret is that I didn't draw it larger.

mmm maybe.. but when you draw smaller you can get the essence of light and shadows easier I think

This is true; it is much more of a challenge to produce this sort of work in a larger format.
