Description Graphite drawing from a mag I got from ~gen-chan . Can't be sure, but I think it was the high contrast and the leather that really appealed to me. Sorry it's been so long, been trying to draw, just never got around to it. Anyways, I think I'm getting used to this style, smoothing out with an eraser as strange as that may sound.

This is a great variation from what I'm used to seeing you draw. I can see why the flow and the movement of the fabric would be so interesting...there is such a whimsical feel this. Great job with the folds and the movement.

Another great work.

Thanks, I'm really glad you think so. This was a rare moment when I actually wanted to draw something, instead of just drawing so that I don't forget how. It's getting harder and harder to pick subjects. Anyways, thanks

fabric is one of my favorite things to draw in art class, but I haven't done it in years. The folds here are so well shaded that it reads as leather. (I think) Very cool!

I haven't taken any actually, I'm studying to be a programmer. So I'm really thinking its all about my experience here in deviantart and seeing how other people have progressed.
Anyways, thanks for the support, you must be one of my oldest watchers.

I really enjoy the high contrast, and you carried it from the leather to the whole body and face, creating a unique tone to the whole image. great work.

Dude I just had a hard time believing this was a drawing, if it wasn't for the ear and the bottom of her jacket I wouldn't. But then again you draw so dammn well so I'd trust it anyway
Maybe it's the scan or something, looks kinda low-res Wish I could see more details in this though, it's a beautiful drawing, those highlights are really catchy.

Niice. Details are so precise, from the hair to the folds to the features of the face. This might sound weird, but I like how you drew her neck. The shape and the shading and all. Pretty drawing, it is.
