Here I am! Hi everybody :)
What about me...Well,I'd love to make my living a pleasant and fruitful experience:I have always liked to paint and make drawings, but I never went to any school.
I love to write, and I like to express my soul in as many ways as I can think of...I don't consider myself an artist, though:I just love art. For more about me, just click here and visit my site.BIOI was born in Firenze, 17th of April 1977.
I am fond of everything which celebrates life and humanity:from writing, to painting, to music till sports and nature, all that captures my attention becomes an interest of mine.
If I'd die tomorrow, I would feel my life has been a worthy one already, but for every day that passes, I feel always more curious about it.
To be an artist (although I don't consider myself so,) means to have a personal vision about all that happens, equally outside than inside.For me it means also to try to connect with other's spirits in unexpectable ways and have an endless will of knowledge, and endless will to discover and test yourself and everything else, without fears, but with all possible emotions in the quest, and from the quest.
The world around it's therefore the best inspiration, all that is into it can touch the inner chords of my soul, although I can't say which way till it doesn't happen.And everytime it happens, it's a reveal, a miracle, and the vibes are the best one can feel.
Then sometimes I watch the blue sky, and I give shape to my heart and mind, and I float around... and smile for my live is really like I want it to be.
I have temporarily suspended my career as University Researcher, testing myself as Administrative Manager right now, and I still asking myself if what I got finally was awareness or disillusion, but anyway, it's my attitude to never regret anything that I made consciously.Let's give life a new try.
I am very fond of Foreign Cultures, they enlarge also my artistical perceivement of life, and it's something I find absolutely enriching.
I have never learnt English, so forgive me if I am not good at speaking nor writing it.
I can speak and write in French, I can read Spanish, I know Ancient Latin and Greek.
And of course, I am Italian so, my Mother Tongue has got no mystery for me.
Hooray for Dante! ;)

Wow!... its hard to have not a pleasant end of january with such a nice image!!! And really, from the pose to the hair, everything invites to "be her delight" :-) One dissapointment: why dont you scan the part that is missing, and fixem with psp?? Its a real pitty not to see the full image!! By the way, love the "fatal-girl" expression on her face :-)

NightShadow
Very nice pencil work indeed....thumbs up
jgeorge
Charming! I love the hair... (They remind me of a friens of mine that has such soflty, richly curled hairs ans is always having them made stright, because "curles are not elegant", I wish I can show her the elegance of your pic!)

Meli, she's gorgeous... please... scan the two sections and send the two files to me. I'll merge them for you and you won't see the join. It would be my pleasure. Just give me an area of "overlap" that's on both scans, to make it easier hugs :-)

Simply amazing..Would like to be a company for this cute lady! :-)

I like this sketch very much. The pose, face expression, the hair, the sensuality, ...
A good piece of art to make my day a bit better :-)
Legion-Khan
Beauiful, sensual and sexy..( that almost hidden hand exposes more than it hides ;) ) I agree with the above comments..show the full drawing if you can. I'd love to see it. Great stuff.
gunsan
What sensual beauty!!! Like her very much.
mooncat
This is exceptional! Beautiful hair and expression, excellent composition!

The pose is something I found on a picture.. I loved the style of it, but I was not really liking the face of the model, nor her style, too grossy and globally too malicious in exposure. So I mantained the idea of the pose, but give her the face I liked and especially the hair (I am glad you all seem to love them!!:)) At one time the face was lookin like Mariah Carey, thing whichh freakened me out ;) but when I finished it, I liked it and I am happy you did too :) I'll send to Jim the two parts, I am sure he will make a great patchwork and so you will see also the complete version :) Thank you all for the cute support :)
irix.
really beautiful meli. hugzzzz

Oh, inimitable unique and always recognisable Meli's manner in pencil femelae portraits! One more masterpiece. I've been missing them... Looking forward impatiently to seeing more of them!

Another sensual treat for us. The image is very inviting and the pencil work is masterful as always. Love the position of the left hand. It invites and witholds at the same time. Nice touch.
idrawstuff
great image - very enticing

:O awesome work. wish i had your skill. Great work, plan to keep an eye out for ya.

Finally I can see it. (although yes..technically I have seen it earlier ;)). The Mariah Carey face you were so 'scared' about is not that obvious anymore at all, as you said yourself. :)You have done a great job fading her face out into another face. The hair is as always perfect..the curly hair you do sometimes is one of your specialties for sure. :) The rest...well others have said it all. A great pose and a great drawing :)
tallpindo
The light and dark is husky and sinister. A difficult posee to find all the elements of limbs, hair frolic and facail tilt. She is whole and complete.
sky
Incredible sensual energy combined with excellent execution of thought. Powerful and intense!!!

Wow Meli! She's sensual, strong, bold, beautiful...she's amazing! You're amazing! I really think this is a wonderful picture, she is portraying a dominant figure, while keeping the trademark gentalness of a woman. You did a wonderful job on this, not only in the drawing, but in the air and life you gave it. You always amaze me dear Melina! Heather
Zargent
Wow this is stunning work. Thanks for sharing it with us.
clemens-k
mercy please! Im only a man...
syndroid
I'm glad she's wearing clothes, otherwise the picture would give me a whole other feeling...ANYWAY...there's nothing that resembles mariah carey, a thing that would've freaked me out as well. The hands look a bit strange, but hands are difficult to draw anyway. I think it's time for me to pick up my pencils again...it's been months...
painbrush
veeery nice!:)
