Woohoo.. I finally got around to doing some more art! Lately I'm really wanting to draw but I can't find the time. Been doing my band stuff lately too so haven't had alot of time. Ah well..

I did this abstract portrait of a really beautiful girl here on dA Jessica Adams aka ~jess1586 - You should check our her gallery sometime if you get a chance.

...like.. a sense of unreality.. a memory of someone from time gone by. A haunting vision of guilt and lost love. 'Don't you love me anymore?'

I did this using .5 and .3 mechanical pencils (HB, 2B) and Prismacolours. Total time on this was about 20 hours. The paper was Croquis.. It's a really great paper but quite thin. It seems like it just soaks up the lead, but I work with my fingers alot to spread the lead where I like it so the texture of the paper is perfect for that. Why the hell is it that every tutorial I've ever seen says NEVER put your fingers on the paper?! Did they win some art contest in high school or something? Don't let anyone tell you how to do your art.
