This portrait I made up using a bunch of reference materials and my imagination. So this person doesnt really exist, just in my head. Let me know what you think. This is the first time trying to sell apiece here on artwanted. Just wanted to see how it goes. Done on Bristol 12"x9" Pencil

You did a great job...that's very hard to create a person's face from your imagination. Excellent shading. Only thing that isn't really good is the hair in the front...it's not quite as realistic as the rest of the face.

This has some fine technical details in the shadowing. It is also interesting from a conceptual point of view because it is an imaginary composite, something of a modern Galatea (she was the name of the statue that Pygmalion made and fell in love with. The gods took pity on him and made the statue into a real woman.)

I like that the features are soft enough to be a female or teen boy. which is it just curious?
