Description Very long work before releasing this drawing that stretched out over years. This is the one that made me realize that my 'style' was details. Painful work, i must enjoy pain,maybe it makes me live.
The adventure began a very hot day of august in a small and remote village of deep Spain. There was this age-old olive tree in front of me, and in my thoughts this gorgeous curly girl I would never see again. I came back a few times to continue drawing the tree, protected from the hard sun by its distorted shadow. Once back in france I just invented the rest (the intricated ground)
Stupid me,it has been drawn on a bad recycled paper from a sketch block, that turned to yellow. I looks like it is 2 centuries old now.

(I post it again, the previous one I had messed up with upload)

The money I make is ridiculously low! (about 20$ a month, and I can't even cash the checks because bank fees to change it to euro are too huge) But it allowed me to subscribe, and it gives some kind of popularity, and dynamism around artworks, which is the most important to me. Money is not the point here, at all.

once again, it's like I can hear you talking to me when I read the description.. The image stands out as if it was alive.

you know, we always see beautiful girls among beautiful settings but it is nice to hear the reason, cause, purpose or atleast where they came from. That is precisely what you have done.

Nice to see this results from a sort of fantasy you had.. the paper part was funny.

Excellent detail ofcourse, lovely

AthenaTT [2003-07-29 05:51:24 +0000 UTC]

Wow, this is so nice! I ran into it on someone's favs, i see why they liked it! Very nice! The tree bark is so intricate, as a fellow pencil artist I can appreciate how long this must've taken you. The only funny thing is her neck, it seems a bit off to me, too curved inward, perhaps..? But I don't know what you were drawing from, if you did use a reference; those can sometimes throw one off, ne? At any rate, this is great and I'm immediately off to go trotting thru the rest of your no doubt brilliant gallery. ^_^
