Description
My first submission, this piece came from an actual model and I modified it rather significantly. The model had brown and shorter hair, was smiling, and actually had slightly different bone structure around the eyes specifically. This technique looks complicated and/or difficult, but was in reality pretty easy once a bit of practice was put in with trash drawings... The key to doing anything approaching photo-realism is tiny, tiny lines. This picture was drawn with a 0.5 mm mechanical pencil on white paper, then gone over with a 0.7 mm mechanical pencil for contrast, then finally graphite for the hair.

This piece took about two hours I suppose.

I was originally trying for an elf-ish woman, but I didn't get where I wanted with it. Her eyes and the general shape of her face are too horizontally symmetrical for an elf in my opinion... needs a longer face and more almond-shaped eyes.
