This is really beautiful. I love the shading and how it's darker towards the bottom. Makes her face, arms, chest, and breasts really glow.
Great shading, your poor pencils must be blunt.
It's simply beautiful.
This is done on 18x24 Canson Sketch paper using woodless graphite pencils.
I can't draw a decent stick figure, and look at this!!!!! It truly is breath-taking!!!!
First I must say you clearly have a LOT of talent. On this particular drawing I would say the one thing that could be improved is the delineation of the musculature in her upraised arms. Have a model do this pose for you and check out the play of muscles in the forearms, biceps, and shoulders. That additional touch would add a level of realism to the image that would improve an already top notch piece of artwork in my humble opinion.
You are quite talented. Love the "willowy" curve of the torso, very graceful.
This is the only drawing on here that is actually art. Pretty much all the other pictures on here are just done with the paint application. But your's, your work truly is beautiful!
Thank you for sharing your artwork, it is beautiful. I have often thought about posing for someone that could capture me like this as a gift to my husband, and I can only hope that if I do one day, it will turn out like this! :-)
Very lovely thank you for sharing. I love her face too she looks like a goddess. As for critique, I love the beautiful contrast and shading. Only the centre of the rib cage, the right shoulder, left wrist and throat apear a tiny bit unnatural to me. Only because the divet where the rip cage meets in the centre is not visible and the shadow on the shoulder appears too thick, to me. Also the wrist connects oddly to the hand in my view and the throat is too flat because it is naturally rounded. One thing I suggest is drawing the skeleton and muscles before you draw a person because it makes it look more realistic. If you study anatomy on your spare time you can apply it to your art and models. Best of luck and your work is beautiful still.
I love the pose and the wet hair and the strong shadows. The rendering makes it feel like a sculpture.
You have some serious talent. Very beautiful. A truly great figurative work of art.
