Description This one went by really fast. I didn't mean the background to look that abstract or blobby, but I think it worked out alright. I guess the main focus for me was the water, and it seems weird, but the girl was a mere afterthought. She seems like the realist bridge between the uber-abstract background and the water scene with all its relfections and hard edges. I actually had to redraw her face 3 times because I kept smudging it accidentally when I was working on the background. The face was really dainty and minimalistic, one of those where you have to sharpen your pencil insanely small and have a real gentle touch where each stroke counts. I was surprised when I got it looking right each of the three times. more to come soon!

Dear God.

You are a master. You remind me of J.D. Hillberry, the way your strokes are, and the detail you bring out. VERY impressive. I love this.

You are so abso-freaking-lutely amazing with pencil.
Whenever you take one in hand you seem to bring miracles right into life, and I find that admirable.
The reflection, the tones, the shades, the perfect composition and proportions.
They all strike my eyes and make me wish I had your extraordinary talents and touch...

Amazing work dear
