Description
Click on the photo for the full view and details - maybe you can see the veil?.There is supposed to be a veil over one half of the face... just in case you was wondering.
The idea came from: [link]
Materials I used:
pencils: mechanical 2B, 2B, 5B, 8B
tortillon and tissues for blending

Thanks so much big .
Still working on the shadows around the right eye and cheek. It doesn't look quite right to me.
Plus the upload is really dark, so I'm going to upload it again, I think.

Thanks Voodoomammacita!
I uploaded a newer version (finer shading around the eye area). And took away the frame and allowed for a bigger mage to be seen - 'cause I like the eye and you can't see it well unless you see it with a large view.

Awww... you are sweet. And coming from you I'm so honored, 'cause your art is brilliant!
Somehow the whole picture is darker than in real life, though. The page should be white, but it looks gray.

Thank you so much!
Now that I've uploaded it, the area around the unveiled eye looks a bit light. Me thinks a bit more detail is needed.
In "real life" I can see the details, but I've found that when I upload, it's like seeing it with new eyes (no pun intended LOL).
So I think I'm going to work on it a bit. It seems things are never quite finished... *SIGH*

NO! it's great the way it is. it gives it a certain affect. i love it like that.

Okay... so I updated it a bit. i know you said no, but... I increased the file size so that you can see the details if you'd like. And shaded around the eye a bit more.
Oh! And I took off the frame.

i don't see it? just the one i fav'd. did you put it in a specific folder?

Um... actually I just replaced the original one (so I guess the system deleted the original?)
The note, when I replaced it said the the changes were minor, so no notification of "favorers" went out.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
so i can't really tell a difference. it still looks good to me. how did you do the changes?

Okay. Justaforyou I uploaded the original in the scrapbook.
Check the shading around the eyes.
Sorry for the dark image - I'm working on a ^&^#@ computer. I have a Macbook, but the screen spontaneously cracked one day. I'm waiting for the new operating system to come out, and them I'm a buyin' me a new baby!
Until then, I'm hooked up to an ancient SONY screen (you know, the big, fat, old gray ones that the dinosaurs used?). So editing is cr@ppy.

i cant find a scrap book. is it on your page,in your gallery?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The way that I get to my scrapbook, I from the home page I enter the gallery. Then at the top left corner, above the photos it's there just under my blue eyeball. LOL
I only found the scrapbook by accident the first week that I joined. I was looking for a photo that I thought I uploaded and couldn't find it! And then presto! There it was in the scraps!
Hope this helps.

hey that's pretty cool.i didn't know that was there either. i saw both of them and there is a real suttle difference,but the new one is a bit better.

So now here's another question. Do you think I should put a frame around this thing?
Someone sent me a note saying that the picture looked unfinished. A good start, they said, but unfinished.
So whatdoyathink? To frame or not to frame? That is the ...

no to frame it is! it is too cool of a piece to contain it in such a small place.
