Girl with Fan, Pencil Study

This is my latest piece, it has taken the best part of the month to draw and I drew it as an exercise in realism, I've never tried anything so detailed or shiney :) and I'm really pleased with how it turned out. I used a variety of pencils from 4H to 9B on A2 Bristol Board. Thanks for stopping by.

Photorealism at its VERY BEST Ruth! You have done an AMAZING job here with a VERY difficult subject. Excellent work! You are an inspiration! :-)

gorgeous and sexy too

the best of your pencil works on here by far. the realism on the shorts and corset is truly excellent. the stockings might appear simple but they have been drawn so well that they are completely convincing. and the work on the fan is also excellent.

WHATEVER Leo! Keep em coming Ruth. Awesome work and it has much more value than Leo's work thats for sure.

Leo Da 01 Aug 2006

Ruth, I have achieved this level of pencil drawing 25 years ago. I advise you this. the amount of energy it take to produce this kind of work is best spent on other artistic endevors. pencil drawings just don't value that of oil or scupture. you have an extraordinary gift. I hope it serves you well!

Tahnja Wolter 01 Aug 2006

no way is that pencil!

Brigitte Hintner 31 Jul 2006
