Description Another portrait of my muse.
Originally, this was supposed to be a watercolour, but I got a wee tad carried away, and decided to leave it as a sketch.
While I'm here in the U.S, I don't have a scanner, so this was taken with my digicam, please excuse the slight fuzzy-ness. A lot of detail was lost in the pic.
Eh, anyway.
I am not entirely happy with this... but happier with it than anything else I've done recently.

She herself (without the faery influences *wink*) was modelled off a photograph I found here on DA before I was a member. So if anyone knows the pic and can point me in the right direction so I can credit it, I'd appreciate it.

Pencil on Arches ColdPressed Watercolour Paper.

I enjoy the attention to texture in this. Really quite nice. Also, I really like the wrinkles in the clothing, they are so natural. Great work.
