Description (2009), 9" x 12", pencil on paper.

Twilight's Bella and Edward, though I must confess that I have neither read the books nor watched the movie. This was a request to donate a piece of artwork to the Summer School in Forks Twilight Symposium. [link]

It was a nice challenge to keep my drawing skills limber and to try some serious drawing of hands, new faces and some cool clothes and background.

This is a great pic!! I have seen other artists try to draw them and they don't do them justice, but then they didn't have your skill!! I don't think there is a pic I do not like of yours!!

Nice, nice nice work! I thought this looked like Edward and Bella. Now I know I'm not the only one on DA who's done Twilight work without reading the books or seeing the movie.

Ellygator In reply to Bright-Circle [2009-05-17 23:47:48 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I do like vampires, but I think I've kind of gone beyond the stage where a high-school romance is something I really want to read about or get into - I guess I'm finally showing my age...

Bright-Circle In reply to Ellygator [2009-05-18 00:26:03 +0000 UTC]

Eh, I'd say your preference is showing, and it's like mine. As far as concerns vampire novels anyway (most of them seem like thinly disguised 'allegories', thus immensely annoying because I dislike being told what to think). Though I am not above high school books with romances in them and other fluffy fiction, the only vampire book I've read is Robin McKinley's 'Sunshine' and that MANIFESTLY is no high-school romance. There is no high school, and no vamp-romance. It's a nicely adult novel.

I'll have to check into that - once I have a little more time to read for fun again! Thanks for the recommendation.

strangely enough, my favorite parts are her hands, and the arms of the blazer, particularly the cuffs... not sure why... it just looks so warm and comfy.
lovely work.

*nod* Nicely done on them.

Heh, I find it ironically strange that I've never read the books nor seen the movie either, but....I still had a dream one night that was influenced by Twilight. A dream that gave me inspiration for a very good original story of my own.

Oooo. Not a fan of Twilight but this is nicely done. I think that Edward looks a bit like Christopher Walken. Although that is quite an attractive combination

LOL! I looked again and I think you're right. It was totally unconscious, though I must confess I saw "Sleepy Hollow" the other night, and thought how Lady van Tassel would have made the most perfect Narcissa for the new HP movie...

Nice... if you have not seen anything about the new Dorian Grey movie the actor for Dorian is the one from Prince Caspian...talk about *drool* I would love to have seen him in the HP movies just once...I dunno he would have been a great Barty. Although I can't willingly replace David Tennant.
