Description Yay! Im finally done. This has been the hardest piece of clothing I've ever drawn. I actually wanted to draw Hermione but I couldnt find a good photo that really capture the character that I know so after a while, I just decided to draw Emma Watson instead.

As usual, here are the stats
-2B for outline, 4B and 8B for shading. Had to change the brand of pencil half way through because Singapore doesnt import the brand im using anymore. Not cool, not cool at all
-A3 Daler Rowney 220g/m2
-Tissue for blending
-This was spread out over a long period. Had quite a few other things to do beside drawing so I drew all over the place, library, my office (during lunch that is ) to make better use of time. I'd say this took about 45-50 hours.

-WIP:

Thanks for any fav. that i may get in advance

ps: you can see the horrible editing job that i did there. Just to reassure some of you guys, the edit was only to make the background whiter because the actual drawing has a white background but it looks dark grey in the photo. Will have to find myself a DSLR somewhere to retake the photo

Beautiful work. Simply beautiful. My first thought as I looked at the face was that it was a B&W photograph or photomanipulation.

Hey buddy.... howz it goin?

it's been a while.

Listen, this is so awesome... but there's only one outstanding problem... the left chick... it's so flattened while everything around her is really dimensional. Like the hand, the hair and the fingers... they look really 3D... well the fingers need to be a bit darkened but they're fine now.
Think of what I said, and let me know what you think.

Keep in touch

Hey! Yeah, it's definitely been a while. I'm in the army now although I should be getting a 8 to 5 desk job in about 2 weeks, so that should pretty much mean normal dA activity At the same time, I'm studying for the SAT because i'm looking to go to the US to study architecture. How about you?

As for the drawing, I definitely see what you're getting at. The cheek does need more shading. It's weird how I dont really notice these things till someone point it out Thank you
