Description Portrait drawing of a lady and her hair ornaments. If you cant half tell by now, I am quite fascinated by hair ornaments and I think they are fantastic. Traditional rendering is so much more messy than I remembered hahaha I have pencil smudges n stuff all over my face and clothes.

Just to be clear, this has had some post work done in photoshop, I cleaned up the smudges and background on it cos i was quite messy and changed the background colour to be a flat grey. Also brought the highlights up and went over the hair.

It's great... but that doesn't look anything like real pencil. Just looks like a pencil tool on corel painter or photoshop. Not sure why you are trying to say it's not?

Unless while editing it reduced the quality somehow..

The highlights are whiter than the background too, which wouldn't be done with graphite.

Thanks for the comment. Hope u find this answer to ur question helpful It's in the description: 'Just to be clear, this has had some post work done in photoshop, I cleaned up the smudges and background on it cos i was quite messy and changed the background colour to be a flat grey. Also brought the highlights up and went over the hair.' Also, that's why it is categorised under mixed media.

Nice drawing
Her hair is well draw and I like the...thing in the hair (don't know the name ^^' )
The only thing that bothers me is her eyelashes, they look a little bit too big , but it's only my opinion

Great work
