Stare

This is one that had been sitting in my pad for some time. One of those pieces you constantly get frustrated with and toss to the side. And just like magic, the motivation comes back when you get a peek at it again refreshed. I couldn't tell you how many incarnations this piece went through but i am finally pleased with the results. Must have erased this thing a dozen times (you'll notice a slight warpage and paper bubbling just under and between the breasts).Head and the rest of the body drawn from imagination. Hands drawn from life from looking in the mirror. Need i say to my fellow artists how much of a pain hands are to draw? But i'm happy with the end result and it came out the way i planned....elegant and sexy. Graphite Pencil on 9x12 Strathmore paper.
