She's exceptionally beautiful Penny. The darkness brings out her captivating blonde hair. But the stars in her eyes reflect that she is a star. My favorite from many difficult choices.
Excellent detail. Thanks for drawing this for me. I already have it on my wall. I enjoy seeing how you bring people alive with your pencil. This one is your best yet. I am looking for more to come. Your friend, Andrea
beautiful work and i love the stars in her eyes!!! and i like the dark background it brings out her features and blonde hair, i also like how you categorized your front page with all your art :)
YES! the dark allows a more 3D pop of the beautiful girl.. lovely details and soft work..(and the looongtime spent on a background is a therapy on patience sometimes, but sometimes very worth the time : )
Definitely a TADA Moment !! Your progression is nothing short of God's hand on yours and knowing you before you were in your mother's womb! His plans for you are amazing!! You just can't learn this without having it there already!! You are truly a Blessed Woman !
This is excellent Penny. Your growth and developement of your skills are coming along very nicely. I have always been impressed with how well you do the faces. Your dedication to learning shows well and the improvements I have seen are outstanding. Trying something different always takes us to new and unexplored territory...the very thing that makes art so consumingly interesting. Excellent work Penny!
Penny...I particularily love the smoothness of her skin...and it has a glow(you seem to have a way with that). Love the lips and eyes the most in this piece...and even though your poor fingers got worked to the bone...I DO like the background....really great work. Just notice the little star shaped light reflecting in her eyes...VERY NICE TOUCH!!!! :)
Wow Penny...I've been watching your progress since you joined AW and it's truly amazing...each drawing just keeps getting better and better...I see you adjusting tones and values, softening edges........changing backgrounds .....your talent is growing in leaps and bounds.
That is your best Penny, you can see definition in the cheek bones, the pouting lips are full and dimensinal, the face is soft, and you have incororated textile design into the fabric.
