Description

What are you looking at?
--------------------------------------

I aplogize in advance for the horrible scan of this. I've tried everything, but the graphite just reflects too much, the photo was worst!:(

Anyways, this is sort of a continuation of "Fear" and "Forgettful Wind", in that I tried to play off a "trigger" word(s) and see what happens.
There are definitely some weird stuff here and there in the pic, but i think they'll stay where they are for now, mostly cause i don't feel like fixing it, but mainly I didn't feel like making her perfect...

Graphite + conte on Acrylic washed paper.

Ref: me for lighting and torso, and i'm a guy!!! lol funny how i keep having to say that....just look at my icon :)

the raw feelings of this, and the pose and the red, really really accentuates the paranoid feeling! (thumbup)
looking forward for you to be the elite next month!

I'm glad that your scan was that bad:) (sorry) but it's adding so much to the atmosphere.You really succeeded to express the emotions,and her pose is great
I'm not speaking of that she's curly...-you know it is simply wonderful
The face is rekognizable as always:)
I doubt cropping her head..
Btw I have the same guy-girl probs But about you never thought you're girl

Thanks a lot everyone!!

Jin-Yi: They are a bit...kinda "poppy"(kept typing poopy)lol. It's one of those elements I thought added to the feeling of this, so i didn't fix it very much.:)

eowyn: Thanks much!! I thought the red would help, and glad to here that it does for ya.:) lol, trying not to think about that...

gimik: Thanks!!! she's jittery from the coffee.

curylyhair: Kewl, never expected it to help...About the cropping, i tried to make sure to get enough in without it looking too confined, but not too much to be unneccessary. Thanks much dude!!

Anti-Depressiva: kewl, thank you!!:)

lol, thanks Marla!!

Dax: Thanks very much!! This "series" is proving to be very helpful in terms of gettting me to create more emotions.:)

GOOF-MD: Thanks!! The linework in the original is much softer and you can avoid the glare if you look at the right angle.lol

Amik: Thanks so much for the great compliment!! I'll get more done :)

Thanks very much Madanapale!! Glad you like my hands!

(thumbup) people!!

WoW, i like it. Its hard to draw an emotion or a feeling, but it seems to me that you've got it right. nice job!!

She really transmits fear, and coverall the red color of bottom helps to fortify this sensation.

Very good drawing.
That well that you handle the pencils, you are everything a master.

from now on, I will be fan yours and of your art!
+7/7 ^_^
