Description This is pretty much what I'd imagine the Finnish goddess of beauty to look like, except they don't have a specific goddess for that, so I'll just go with Freyja, the Norse goddess.

The white background combined with the quite bright light reminds me of the effect you get when you're in the snow with white light reflecting from everywhere, which seems perfect for a picture of a Finnish girl.

A5 paper (15x20cm), 2B mechanical pencil, kneaded eraser, q-tip, tissues, 6 hours. The scanner lost a bit of the finer shading.

Wow, this isn't a photo? That's what I thought at first. I like the eyes, mostly because they remind me of my own, and the nose (I'm Finnish on my paternal grandmother's side).

I was created by the flying spagetti monster with His great noodly appendage. I get my talent from this lucky charm necklace and the holographic energy bracelet I wear, so I don't need to do any hard work.

Oh my God how can you possibly produce work like this in 6 hours? It takes me around 40hours, and i don't think mine could even compare to yours!!

And just using a 2b pencil, cotton bud & tissue? How can you create so much black with just a 2b pencil without the layers going slick? I'm amazed. I saw the gorgeous prismacolour portrait you have listed on trade me, you are one talented young lady! What's your secret!!

WOW, I love the thick blckness of her hair against her pale, light skin and those lips and the way you've handled them is my favorite though. Good Job
