Description
Firstly, credit where credit's due: the reference photo ([link] ) is curtesy of darkset ([link] ) . Yay!So please go there too and check out his stuff, tis worth it!!!
Thank you, mate!!! Hope you like...
Okay, well, this probably took about 7 hours, I guess, 2H, 2B, 4B + 6B, cotton tips, eraser.
Edit: Whoops, forgot to mention the eyes were coloured in PS - thats the only digital touchup though.

I like this better than the photo overall, except the eyelashes which I don't think you quite got right, it's ok to take liberties, of course, that's what artistic license is all about, and they can't revoke it!

Mm, with the eyelashes its possible the printoff that i used for reference was a bit fuzzy or something... but I do remember accidentally pressing too hard for them...
I'm really glad you like how I've drawn her, thank you so much for your compliments!!

Looks really good but the blue is a bit distracting, especially as you can only really see it on one of the eyes - so it makes it look quite odd. Great pencil work though.

Thank you very much! myeah, it does a bit... I'll probably add the unaltered original pencil version in my scraps to like, have the "un-odd" pic available!

I think I wounld have opted out of the blue eyes, the hue and texture is too strong and dominates your very beautiful pencil work. Other than that though, wow. Especially the hair and lips. She's lovely

Hmm, it is pretty dominating, the brightness... Only reason I did add the colour was just to replicate the original as much as possible...
But thank you very much,... I'm working hard at drawing hair and lips better, lol

Well... *sneakyness* You could always crop out the hair, or have it tied back, thats what I just used to do!

Great drawing. Nice shading and contrast and the hair is great!

the lips are awesome. so is the nose. At first the right eye lid stood out weird to me, but then I looked at the ref photo, and I think it's just perfect!

Amazing. It does look like a photo at first and there are only minor differences in the actual photograph and this. Great job, and I hope to see more like this from you.
