Description Updated version of [link] which I have moved to scraps, as it's not all that important anymore. I do like seeing the improvement, though!

Total time for inking: about three hours. I had a very skinny pen.
Size: 9x12"
Paper: Strathmore Bristol Vellum
Next step: painting with watercolour. It will look similar to my carousel horse drawing that can be seen here: [link]

Inspiration: [link] (Thank you so much EvilxElf)

This is gorgeous! The linework is so clean and so fluid. The face is just so beautiful, and the eye is absolutely amazing! I love how simple this is, but yet so complicated at the same time, and the way it is very detailed in some spots and detail-less in others. This is an amazing piece of art!

nah nothing is ever finished

if i ever get my paintbrushes back maybe i'll do it up with some watercolour. i'll probably chicken out and leave it like this, though.

That's amazing! I love how the negative and positive spaces push you farther into the pic. And her eye is just captivating! I also love the lips. ^_^ Awesome work here. <3

sometimes i wonder when i'm really going to screw something up by painting it but it hasn't happened yet. maybe i'll leave it, maybe i'll colour it. if it makes you feel better, i dont even have my brushes with me right now because i left them at someone's house!
