Description This has been one of my longest and most time consuming drawings so far.
I started this drawing in autumn 05. I remember being rather exited starting this drawing, but as it progress I had some doubts how I wanted the drawing to turn out, as for background and such. About a year ago I took up the drawing again and decided to make trees in the background. I started drawing the first big tree and somehow felt it didn't look right. I did the trees from imagination, how I think trees should look. Even if I had taken a photo of a tree and tried to draw it exactly I don't think I would do it a 100% realistic. After starting the trees I felt I had somehow ruined the drawing and I didn't want to finish it up. Then finally I took up the drawing again not long ago and somehow the drawing looked different to me and I actually liked it and felt like finishing it up. I even feel happy with the outcome now. I find it rather interesting looking back at the process of the drawing. It has so much history to me as I remember the places in my life when I drew on this one. I think it will remain a special drawing to me.

Made with graphite pencils, B, 2B and 3B.

excellent pencil work, but perhaps the head is a little big, the hips look awkward and perhaps her torso is too small as well. Her legs are almost as big as her arms, anorexic?

that's oh so melancholy.
I find some contrasts in it,
i mean.. some personal contrasts.
And that's what makes it even more interesting than it already is

She looks absoutely gorgeous- innocent, yet with a subtle sex appeal. The trees don't look that bad- they actually support the subject rather well. Beautiful.

I'm happy you chose a snow theme too: I really thought you had to draw a winter landscape one day!

The Marilyn+this one: you suddenly put a term to pieces you started a long time ago: is it the beginning of a new era ?
Seriously: I really love this one, there is visibly so much work in it and so many details. I think you really did a wonderful job on her face as well, which is not always the case on full body drawings! The body and pose are just awesome too.
I'm happy you chose
