Description Graphite pencil drawing of Karelle, size A4, on Bristol board.

I owe my thanks to Sifu sifu.deviantart.com/ for allowing the use of his photo Waiting for him as the reference image for this drawing. I must apologise to Sifu, however, for cropping his photo, but I wanted to concentrate on Karelle’s dramatically lit face.
The model for this drawing, Karelle, also has a dA page: karelle-andrea.deviantart.com/ .

Edited 10 October 2014:  Photo replaced by one having better definition.

How make you to extract so much beauty of being...? It's simply magnificent...

Her hair, her eyes, every part of this portait is crystalline, you seem to compose a Symphony of light....

When we look your creation, Karelle cross the screen, she seems to be a Enchantress like Viviane, the lady of lake,...

I looked a lot of photography of Karelle, but i had not felt such emotion, that by looking your work LateStarter63...

How much hour take place to reach such technical perfection and impression of live ?

It's as if you had dress the plastic beauty of Karelle with your beauty of soul...

Thanks fort this wonderful moment !

P.S: The transparency of her look, the delicacy of the embroidery are real jewels !!!

Thank you for the comment and for adding it to your favourites. There was a point half way through the drawing, when it was only lightly shaded, when I doubted that I could reproduce the lighting effect convincingly.
