Description A sleeping woman and her dream shown at the edge of her bed.
Prismacolor pencils on drawing paper
Original 22.5X30.5cm Dec. 2, 2012
My first new drawing in about a year, largely thanks to the motivation that being a member here has given me. I certainly could have used some reference materials for this, but went ahead with just drawing from imagination. I took many hours on it, and muscled through even though I wasn't pleased with parts of it (her arms and face{does she look a little like Laura Palmer?}). Overall I'm happy, and I feel like this is breaking the ice of inertia for me.

This drawing reminds me of my favorite artist Frida Kahlo. I don't know if you know her, but if not have a look at her work. :33
The drawing is awesome! *.* I love your style

Well, I'm extremely flattered by that, so thank you!
I agree that Kahlo's work is definitely worth looking up, and I'm disappointed that I missed a recent exhibition of some of her works in Seattle...I spent some time last year poring over a book of her art.

She is very inspiring.. I love her, I especialy love one quoth of her- ,,People call me surrealist. I don't agree with that, because I don't paint dreams. I paint my reality."

That's a great quote. And what a reality she had, too!
