Redirect to original
Description
This question always comes up for every artist I'm sure ... "you can draw with references, but can you draw something original?" This isn't really something I think about too much, because I just draw whatever I want to at the time because it's what I like and enjoy. But sometimes someone wants an original drawing and this was one of those times. A drawing from my head for a commission.Materials:
Strathmore Vellum Bristol
Graphite
Erasers
Digital Texture with thanks to - [link]
Christina *acjub your a little angel adding this for me
NOTE: This is the first time I've added a digital texture to a drawing. The drawing is the same as the original but the background has been added just for a change.
Also, should this be mixed media even although the drawing itself hasn't been altered?
Thank you very much for having a look

It was a lot of fun and very scary also 
No, I didn't use any specific refs for this girl, I looked at a few over shoulder shots to get an idea of how it would look. I'm not sure I got it quite right, her shoulder is a bit wonky

I'm not seeing any wonk. Maybe you've just looked at it too long.

I think rather than wonky, the shoulder is too narrow or something, I'm not sure, but there's something

Hm... Not too narrow, I don't think... Maybe the top part could be a bit pointier compared to her rather slim arm?? Dunno...

Yeah, it could be that, I've never actually worked it out

Really great! It's interesting to see what an artist can dream up in their head

How can do that?
And more importantly, how did I miss this?
If I tried that she would like some sort of deformed alien!!
She's beautiful

This was a wee sneaky one that I'd done months ago for a commission so I submitted it 
It would not look like a demon it would be beautiful!

lovely! 
and i don't think it should go to mixed media as long as the drawing itself is not altered. adding a digital background isn't really mixing anything, but you have to mention you added it digitally, just so people would know

Thank you lovely
I've made sure it's clear in the comments, I wasn't sure at all where to put it because it is just the background and most groups have said traditional also. I'll leave it there for now unless it angers someone and I'll move it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, i know you mentioned it, i read
nah, i don't think anyone would mind
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I wasn't sure but all the traditional groups have accepted into trad art because the drawing has been unaltered. I feel myself it should be mixed media really though. Thank you for answering

Awesome. And this is an example of what I'm far from : improvisation
Sensual pause and lips, latin style, inner feelings, wonderful !
I'll do that sometime when I'm grown up
