Description
14"x17" Graphite Pencil 1997there is a little wind in the rain...
there is a little sadness in her eyes
there is a little happyness in her lips
there is a little emptyness elsewhere...
there is a little thought going through my head
and it was rain.............................................

I'm amazed that you've managed to give this piece such emotion and realism with Graphite Pencils I hope one day I can achieve this

Thanks very much, Charon! It helps to draw people you feel a strong emotional connection to, I think!

Your welcome, I've only ever really done about 5 life drawings and the emotional connection is certainly key

Yah, it keeps that vital connection between you and the piece so much easier to maintain; I like what you're doing over there!

My god...I am actually shocked by the amount of detail placed in this portrait. The facial feature are border lining that of a black and white snapshot. The woman's hair is astounding and covered with so many individualistic charms to it you can almost see it gently moving around her as the subject turns around. The eyes are what truly drew me to this picture. The lighting reflectivity upon her eyes looks amazing and is more than enough to garter the attention of anyone viewing this gallery.
I'm actually saddened that no one has commented on this piece or has said anything about it. Without hesitation I can say that this one of the best Graphite Pencil drawings I've seen in quite a while. Excellent work!

Thanks very much!
Sometimes, lately, when you click on a deviation, it will look as if no one's left any comments on a piece-- it's just a dA glitch, though-- there are comments here from years ago...

Oh, so that explains why there was nothing here when I saw it. I was about to think, how the hell did no one check this out?!

great portrait, you seem to use the same girl quite frequently as a model throughout your gallery. I'm curious; is it a real person or a figment of your imagination?

more than the beautiful shades and style, I really love the emotion that shows in this portrait. thumbs up!

Why haven't I noticed this work before?
I can say that this is my most favorite in your gallery to date.
It's been a while since an artwork stirred an emotion inside and made me cry, and smile after. I just couldn't explain how and why.
Hurtfully beautiful. There's so much life, love, hurt and grace.
Makes me want to look at this every once in awhile.

No biggie, Sam. At least you're in good, speaking terms unlike other old couples.

We used to write together a lot-- I just got off the phone with her again to collaborate on an important letter, but she'd done such a good job of it already, I didn't have anything constructive to add...
