That's incredible. Your skill with pencils is something that inspires me very much. I'd love to know what materials you were working with here.

her ear is a little gone
Of course that is just my opinion
Good working.

those eyes are powerful great job!!

great job +10

thanks people!

Sulariade: sorry, forgot to give the technical details. I simply used graphite-mechanical pecils and some darker pencils + tissue for smudging, works very welll.


eduardobedoya04: thanks! a little competition is good. I think human lips are pretty much the same, and how many creases appear just depend on how dry they are. Hers are pretty dry, no cracking yet. heh.

thanks again everyone.

I could tell this was yours the moment I saw the thumbnail. I love your style .

Awesome Bao... I think her lips are fine... look natural (and not shiny... as you have such a problem with making things shiny LOL!)

I really love this piece... hehehe

nice. not much to really comment on.love the detail in the hair and eyes .

Good creamy pencil technique, good range of values. Fresh detail, not "worn.
But the hair descends too low on her forehead, and the perspective suggests that the forehead is flatter than it should be. I would also make the shoulder and trapezoid much lighter, so the body does not look so flat making the face "float". The body is as much a part of expression as the face, so use it - do not tone it down to pretend it's unimportant.

Once again, great drawing skills and contrasts.You did this one fast since your last one didnt you?+7

The eyes look great +9

She's beautiful!As woman and as a painting as well
Great work!
9/9

ha ha...i like title better now that I have seen the close up link. I noticed you really tried to put a light specifically around her eyes...interesting.

Beautifully drawn with exceptional detail. These intense expressions are certainly becoming your trademark. Well done

Beautiful!!! The movement, the expression... Especially I like the eyes

I agree with Arenhaus about her shoulder and neck they look unfinished rather than "fading out". Also, I think her hair on the left side (her right side) looks a bit flat. Great work anyway.

Wow, she's so beautiful! Lovely work.

Waooo....top marks ...Just beautiful!!!...I love the eyes and the mouth.

You have outstanding drawing skills, I wish I was half as good. keep it up

the face its so perfect
just the smudge from neck to shoulder could be a lil more clean

Simply.....wonderful!
Her eyes are incredible!

Seems everyone is praising the techniques and has overlooked the art....this is one of your best pieces...very intense...almost disturbing.

There are anatomical flaws..but whether intentional or not...they only add to the work....for some reason this reminds me of the work of Richard Dadd...if you're not familiar with him check him out...I think you'll see what i mean. (er no offence of course...but Dadd did most of his best work from a lunatic asylum after he murdered his father....just a note of caution...hehe!)

This is beautiful, Bao. Awesome technique!

thank you everyone for critiquing!

sorry for replying too late

Arenhaus: although that was intentional on my part to try to not compete with her face, i can see what you mean, but i guess it was a choice that i was content with. Thanks

Wysiwyg: that i did, thanks for noticing.

Kaduflyer: thank you so much for commenting on this and "Darkside". It really means a lot that you said that. At your request, i've made prints of both of them. "The Inevitable" is up right now at http://www.deviantart.com/print/109580/ and "Darkside" should be up soon. Thanks much for your interest and for liking them "that" much.

thanks again everyone!!
