Description I've had this in the 'to draw' folder for a while now and decided to do it to maybe enter in a contest here on dA.

I'm a wee bit disappointed, the scan is showing all my naughty pencil marks and you can barely see them in the real thing, but this is the best I'm getting at the moment

Materials:
Hahnemuhle Nostalgie A4
Pencils HB to 8B
Erasers
Ruler
White Pastel (hopefully to give a glow on her face like water reflection)

Ref - [link] I think
UPDATE: It was here, phew! Not going mad - [link]

EDIT: I've upped the contrast on this by 15% to try and get rid of some of the grainey look it had, its a bit better, although now the top is very dark .... but not as distracting, so I think I'll leave it like this now.

Pencil marks or not, this is absolutely stunning. It caught my eye as soon as I saw it. I LOVE how you did the water in the foreground, that is amazing. Her eyes are so very expressive, and your shading is wonderful. This is an absolutely beautiful drawing. You are a true artist!
