Description
They only want you when you're seventeen
When you're twenty-one
You're no fun
They take a polaroid and let you go
Say they'll let you know
So come on

Seventeen - Ladytron

Realism practice - first really serious attempt. What do you think?
8-12 hours, I stopped counting.
For those wondering, it is the androgynous, lovely Callum Willson: [link]

That is stunning. Absolutely. You made him have so much more expression on his face! I'm just.. oh wow. I can't even describe this feeling.

I really don't like dead-eyed models, so while trying to keep a good likeness I also tried to make him more expressive.
Thanks! <3
