Artist's Comments

Did this way back around Spet. 2004, and I'm still not sure if I like it or not. Half of it was done on my lap at an agricultural show, because being a Steward can be very boring if you don't take along something to do ;) Anyway, it provides interest for people, at any rate.

Please note: this is a truly awful scan. My scanner has turned against me. =(

Mechanical pencil qith B lead, tissue and blending stumps.
20 x 14cm
level adjustment and border in photoshop
about 7 hours, give or take

I'm not quite sure about the placing of her mouth - is it too much to the side?

But I like the cheekbones and the attitude of the piece alot...

Great job! I love the expression in this drawing. Good taste! :D

I think it is probably in the right place, as I use a grid for the purpose of getting things where they should be, but it does look wrong. It's that awful black shadow. I really have to get a better scan. I shall attempt to do so, VERY soon, and see if that helps. I don't think I can stand this version, it looks awful. =(
But thankyou for the compliment, the +fav for Julia Ormond, and, of course, the :+devwatch:

Hmm, thinking on it, maybe you're right.

As for the fav, comments, etc, they are but your due. Very impressive gallery, indeed; far outclasses mine.

My, that is better.

Ah, thankyou. It really looks much better in real life, but I tried scanning it in colour, which turned it green, but gave me some shadows, and then made it black and white. I really don't know what is up with all our electrical equipment at the moment-- it is all going haywire. ;)

Thankyou so much! I'm intending to come visit your gallery, but I'm only at the computer in add breaks, so it will be in a little while! =)
