Description
First off... the title was taken from the song "Porcelain" by Red Hot Chili Peppers.... the feel of the song itself was very similar to the feel of the picture.... so thats how i came up with the name, incase anyone was wondering lolThis is a self portrait. Its my second but I like this one far better than the first. Self portraits aren't easy but I'm pretty happy with this turn out. The picture was taken at the beach this past weekend and i liked the angle so i drew it. The hair was a *pain* but once i started to draw it i got into the groove and it went by pretty fast.
Specs:
Paper: Smooth Bristol
Size: 9X12
Used: 3b,6b,8b, H
Time: about 4 hours
Hope ya'll enjoy!!

Awesome, awesome awesome! The hair did turn out great; it's what attracted me to this picture. I love the way it's blowing into your face; and the close crop of the entire piece is awesome too. I love it! I wish my self-portraits looked that good; you're beautiful!

YES! red hot chili peppers. not my fav song, but dig everything they've made. gong li is probably my fav...
as for the important stuff- this is an insanely awesome drawing, i'm having trouble deciding whether i like the detail in the lips or eye more, but everything in this drawing rocks.
