Description
OK, one of my very weird poses again. I just loved the pose and the angle of the photography that I really had to draw it when I saw it. And it fits in my "striped series" so perfectly... without even adding any stripes
And after seeing that pic... I just thought of a crab... don't ask me why 
The model is the beautiful Miss Leila ([link] ) and the photographer is John Carman
Hope you all like it.
Original size: 75x55cm (30x22")
Technique: charcoal and pencils
Time: about 30 hours

Or you could even have the original, but that would be much more expensive

thanks so much! First, I thought, when I started it, it would be an easy one, but it sure wasn't... and because of that I am pretty proud of it myself

I really like this, but to be honest, I think the left leg looks a bit fake.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thanks... but what do you mean by fake?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It looks drawn in from the knee down, where as the other leg looks as if it was photographed there

I know, but the leg still looks fake. where as evrything else looks real.

hmmm... maybe because it doesn't have any shadows... no depth

Nah its not that, I mean the rest of the photo looks AMAZING. after looking at it closer it might be the light setting the right leg, in the white area seems a bit darker where as the left leg is just white, and pretty much see through, as if it doesnt really exist.
