The lips look like they're from a photograph instead of a drawing. Well done!

It's a pleasure. A while ago I went through all the thumbnails in your gallery and wrote down the titles of the ones that caught my eye, and now I'm taking a good look at each one.

Really!?! Have you confused my gallery with someone elses gallery who is actually good!?!

It's not a big deal. I do this with any deviant whose work interests me. Only you have a larger number of interesting deviations than most deviants I've investigated...probably everybody except Scythemantis.

Of course! I look at each and every person's gallery who favs, comments, notes or watches me. And your work is pretty awesome, dude! Please forgive me if I didn't mention that already. You are a very talented artist with great pencil skill who, in time, will most likely surpass my own works by a long shot! But to make that happen even quicker, you should try adding a bit more background in your work. Most of your drawings seem to focus on the central figure only. Not sure if that is intentional on your part or not, but it's very difficult to make that work on a huge blank canvas. Generally, the best way now (and then) to make empty background drawings or paintings work, is through pinup art. Why? Because the nude figure can pretty much stand on its own where if it is good and sensual enough, it really needs no background at all top convince you of its merit, simply because the viewer will forget what a background is when he or she is looking at a nude figure!
So, other than that, you are doing an awesome job, so keep it up!

Thanks for the tip. And thanks for looking at my gallery. I don't get that many views, much less comments.

I love the shading and the detail you used with her hair... also love the expression on her face too! Your work is awesome! ^^

Thanks, Little Bonnie Blue!!! I really appreciate the comments! It was difficult photographing this one because graphite pencils reflect the light when shooting, so thanks for commenting.

Thank you! Yes, she is an ex-girlfriend of mine. I love your art, too. I am new to this so I am really slow posting, will have more up, soon.

Hehe then there seems to be an epidemic of posting art of exes.. lol Or at least with you and I. ^_^ Aw thanks. That's great, and if I'm not watching you yet, I will now!

Yeah, it sucks enough to go through a break up, then when it's all over, you look around and you are left with all of these wonderful drawings and paintings of them to remind you of the relationship all over again! Oh, well, that's life, I guess...but what else can you do with them, post them or burn them!?!
O

Yeah. At least posting them is doing something productive with them, and even if they remind you of the relationship, they just make peope go "oh wow!" hehe
