Description 14"x17" Graphite Pencil 1997

there 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 know, I know, but there ended up being, like, 5 or 6 of those-- and despite what Olly and Hexy say, I haven't heard anything yet from the Help Desk at all-- Oh hell, let's not talk about this!!!

Wow, this is so sharp and detailed (well, that's the point of pencil drawing, isn't it?)

карандаш заточен .
штрих отточен .
очень точен .
безупречен .
вечен .
неповторим .

The pencil is grinded.
The stroke is perfected.
It is very exact.
It is faultless.
It is unique.
It is eternal.

I just started a new pencil drawing a couple of days ago; there's something so clean and renewing about working in pencil; I'll never understand why...

Thanks, Enk!
It's very rare for me to leave a background white; whatever that urge is that we're trying to satisfy by drawing pictures found itself satisfied once I'd found the likeness, and I didn't want to force anything...
Thanks for looking!

Beautiful sense of weight with this one, Raffa.

I love the contrasting shadows and all the wonderful detail that you have included. The hair is outstanding, and the design work on her collar really adds a lot of flavor to the image.
