Whoa, I really love it. I never thought just two colors with hair bieng a nice contrast would give it a powerful magical feeling. Time to tone down my color range and aim for something like that. Thank you so much for this awesome inspiration. It is truly breathtaking and I'm sad I can't express how beautiful it is because saying it in words end up sounding 100 times uglier.

Oh well, super work!

It leaves me speechless , her eyes that look means a thousand words.
Could you explain why some of your works have that part of blue in their faces like the mesaage you wanna give by it?

Akandael [2009-02-01 23:18:22 +0000 UTC]

I've noticed you seem to use blue on faces a lot. Is there a reason for this?

EmersonStem [2009-01-23 19:00:39 +0000 UTC]

how'd you keep the graphite from smudging?
do you use a fixative?
