Description One day I found a really 'touching' photo and I wanted to draw it.
I hate how the water came out, although I'm pretty happy with the child's outcome.

(Edit: corrected the water's shading a little. It still doesn't look very well, but now I'm happier with it)

Thanks so much! I see a lot of mistakes in this drawing, but somewhy it's quite close to me. So I'm very happy if someone else (especially as talented as you) likes it, too.

Water is always extremely challenging.... might I sugguest next time trying a larger format. This will allow you to concentrate more on the details making for a very realistic end results

Thank you for the suggestion! I agree with you, small format was probably my biggest problem. I'll definitely keep your advice in mind the next time. By the way, I saw your drawing of water and it looks really fantastic!

The waterdrop image was my second attempt. The first attempt was only graphite pencil, but I played arround with water color and found it was more fluid..... I also did a larger format the second attempt. I am pleased with the end results. It gets most recognition of all my pieces.

What a delicate and sweet piece. I love all the details in the shading. The expression and pose of the child is very sweet.

This is a really nice picture once again! I agree with you that the child is come really well. And for just cross-hatching (read your comment...) this is amazing! I see that people have already commented on the water, but practice makes perfect, and you've got the liquid down, it's just getting the right shading I expect (And water is an incredibly challenging to do )

It's a shame that the scans don't come out perfectly, I'd love to see your art in real life.

Thank you!
I really hope to get more practise in drawing water soon
and about scans- I finally foud a way to scan my pictures without getting
that 'grainy' effect, so that's quite good news, I guess...

Awesome! Hair and face are +++
But water... I would make it more transparent ( it looks like milk )
After all it's good artwork

Much success!

Yeah, I think the same about the water...
But I'm afraid I won't be able to correct it- it wasn't clear enough in the photo.
Anyway, thanks for your comment!
