Description I've finally finished Kate. I've tried to soften this portrait so it's more like the reference photo (hdwallpapers.com/kate-bush-bac… ) sorry, I don't think that link works... it was a google search for hd wallpaper if that helps.

It measures 10'' by 12 1/3 ''
Materials: Smooth Bristol Board paper and a wide selection of pencils, oh and LOTS of erasing with putty rubber and my favourite Faber-Castell pencil eraser.

I'm still trying to get the hang of my lovely new camera, so it's not exactly the quality I wanted, but I'm pleased with it and I really enjoyed drawing Kate anyway. I had to try several times to get a decent photo, then the sun came out and I took this one outside. I think it's the best photo I could get.

I hope you like it Β

A fantastically alluring and seductive Kate Bush, she almost leaps off the page,Β  You are very very talented I try to draw the human figure and cant get proper proportions, You make her human on paper, and that is quite a master stroke of a professional artistΒ  BravoΒ  I love this print!Β  Lovely work!

Really lovely Ani. You've managed to get a sparkle in her eyes. How'd you do that?

I'm so pleased you like her Β  I'm glad you can see a sparkle... the more I look at this the more she looks bored and sulky to me Β  ...maybe I should just stop looking now Β

Thanks! The hair was really tricky, I was experimenting with several different techniques. I'm hoping to become better with practice Β

Thanks so much, my shading usually isn't as smooth so I had to try hard to get this look. I'm glad you like it Β
