Description the reference shot was somewhat difficult to work with tinally, so I tried to ape a gelatin print effect to go with the starkness of the line work by using a few layers of stainless steel and iridescent pearl colored paint (thank you Liquitex, for having every bonzo color under the sun).

this is ~leucothea go by her page and say "hi" or something

pencil, brush & ink, gouache, acrylic paint, acrylic ink + digital

+i love the shadow of her eyeglasses on her face, and the great way you mimicked the silverish-print tone. there's great light in this.+

I'm not crazy about her eyelashes--they look like they're coming over the top of the frames . . . but other than that, I like the bits of color and the use of the picture in this.

nice touch in your work. reminds me something primitive. something like in works of clive baker, j o`barr, dave mckean, i dont know but i would like to do just the same. wild lines still nothing too much, minimalistic. sorry about my english

Your english is fine (at least I think I understand what you stated). I am not a fan of O'Barr, but I do like Dave McKean (and by influence, Bill Sienkiewicz, who McKeans linework borrows from heavily).

I do appreciate the compliment.

A.... dou-tone... I simply can't believe it. Exceptionally well done, as it is rare find. The contrast in greyscale and the hint of blue works great.

Simple yet very stylish, and a nice break from your other works.

This is a fantastic job, especially considering that the source material was slightly manipulated and b&w to begin with. +fav.

I find glasses hard to draw. You, evidently, do not.
