Description I have finished my Dark Lily drawing. It started out as a drawing I did to get back into the drawing rhythm after a very drawing-lazy January. I'm really glad I started it. The structure of the lilies took some time but was also quite interesting to create. Makes me wonder why I don't draw them more often, especially since stargazer lilies are my favourite flowers.

I have included the detailed materials for those interested:
Faber Castell Soft charcoal pencil, Winsor&Newton Smooth Surface Cartrigde Pad, 70lbs150gsm/ Faber Castel Kneeded eraser.

It looks like you can just reach out and feel the smoothness of her face, and the softness of her hair. Definitely one of my favorites.

This is beautiful. My favorite part is how her right eyelashes are reflecting the light - that is something I would definitely overlook, and you captured it perfectly.

Her skin looks so soft. You did a wonderful job, it's a well balanced picture. Did you use a model or did you draw this face from memory?

There are too much talent in you!!!!!!!
The shadow and the light are awesome, the expression, it look so soft
And respect for the eyes , because it's hard for me to draw them. They are not, like I want
Wonderful work

This is very moving. As soon as I saw it, I had a hard time pulling my eyes away. Lovely! And it carries a depth of feeling that is very compelling.

Triluna [2010-01-31 19:09:55 +0000 UTC]

I like this one alot. She has this cold expression somehow. But the thing pulling me here is the lightfall composition, making it look more dimensional then your conventional drawings.

I have no idea how you get your shading so smooth, but it's gorgeous. The lighting, the shadows, it's all so smooth and beautiful.

justanotheranonymous [2010-01-31 11:00:49 +0000 UTC]

perfect, especially the structure of the lilies, it somehow reminds me of the fallen stars books by Virginia Andrews, the same expression I guess, a bit like a godess
