So, finally completed! I am quite pleased with it. This is Jamelia, a British singer.
The hardest part of this drawing was getting the right porportions on the shoulder and chest area. The background is black, made black with extrasoft black cretacolour pencil nr. 1. The white boarder is where I left the paper white (that's why it's not a prefect square)
Tools used:
2b, 5b, 7b, 4h, 9h_ grahite, black cretacolour pencil nr. 1 and 3, tissue paper, pencil shaped eraser. This drawing has been drawn on A4 smooth Bristol, I used about 90 percent of the paper, leaving only a small frame.
Time spent:
25 hours?
Thank you sooo much for looking, and I hope you like it.
Sorry for being late with the comment (Again. I feel obliged to say sorry ^^), I had exams so it was difficult to keep up with peoples' new deviations and comments.
You seem to be really fast at producing really good work, even though you say you don't draw as much as you used to. You said it was hard getting the right proportions, but you seem to have had no trouble as the final outcome is really good.
I really like the facial tones and lighting and the contrasting hair. It seems like you've spent a long while on the hair; it must have been tiring. The eyes, nose, and mouth are amazing. I still haven't worked out how to do those properly, though I haven't started trying to get good at them yet because of the exams and procrastination. Once again, sorry for the late comment.
First of all, you really don't have to apologize for commenting a bit late. I am ver greateful to recieve each comment, and it doesn't matter when I do so. I wish you all the best with your exams! The fact that you didn't have any extra time is good in way, it means you worked hard. I'll be sitting my exams next month... Thank you very much! Yes, porportions are quite hard for me, because I don't use any technique to get them right: no grids... I just make a skecth and go with that, and sometimes things go wrong. I like the hair, but think that maybe it looks a bit too... I don't know, perhaps the contrasts are too strong, what do you think? Iem ery pleased with the eyes, and the lashes... they took quite a while. I will look forward to seeing some of your work, when you have time
Wow... I popped online for a brief moment and look what I found!! I love the eyeslashes.... so big... so awesome. you did a wonderful job and I'm sure your brother loved it!! great job! I'm a bit behind in my drawings, but I'll be back around again soon. ... miss ya!
First of all, I would like to apologise for the late response. Thank you very much for the compliments. The eyelashes were loads of work, especially the light on the ends, but it seems worth it. They are huuge on the ref. as well My brother liked it, and I wanted to dedicate something to him so... I finally have.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
This newsletter was "born" back in March 2007. While things have changed over time, the essence of the newsletter is still the same. We choose photomanipulations that have made an impression on us from the past week. We do not base our choices on preference or friendships and we have never featured ourselves. We simply pick photomanipulations showing creativity, technique and quality at the same time, and are simply eye-catching. As we are also stock artists, we will only feature the works that give proper credits to stock artists.
Finally I found the time and effort to do another watchers feature. A lot of new-comers have shown up since the last feature, and I want to thank them all for being interested in my works. I've roamed through all their galleries, and picked the one, two or three best deviations made by each. I hope you will enjoy this collection as much as I enjoyed making it!

Jurgen's eclectic gallery gives you a glimpse into his vibrant personality, and shows that he's not just good at cooking up a storm in the kitchen, but that he's always prepared to throw some devious spices into his artistic endeavours. So with a dash of hooray and a heaped spoonful of congratulations, we are delighted to present the Deviou... Read More
