Artist's Comments

Colored pencil on bristol paper. Original size - 14"x17"

1) This is my first large drawing - the background took forever and is a little darker in real life. The shadows did not come out very well in the photo. The face is a classical face - it has a classical look to it.

2) This is inspired by my Harry Potter fanfiction "Blind My Eyes, Sew Them Shut." This is a snapshot of the very end of it, which has not been written yet. View Story

3) This is also inspired by my deviation "Lady in the Water." If you look at it, it has the same glass shape and features the little grapefruit.

This took about 2 1/2 days to complete.

Ahhh... The grapefruit. I remember it :)

You are very right in describing the face as classical; it reminds me very much of the... Ummm... Baroque period? Admittedly, I don't know much about art periods (or art in general :/), so I could be very, very, very wrong.

I think what I like most about this piece are the fingers. They seem poised very realistically and are formed very well. Also, I like the sidelong glance of the eyes toward the vase, giving a sense of curiosity/bemusement.

Very nice job :thumbsup:

Thank you :heart: My oma said it was sort of a old Renaissance statue sort of face. I think the fingers are almost scary :D I was listening to "If I Was Your Vampire" by Marilyn Manson on repeat as I made most of this, so I tried to reflect the same kind of emotion and passion as the song.

Thank you again :D
