Description

*I see when walkin scenes of life, I see when stopping they're all like shine. My eyes see what you wouldn't think could catch your breath in moments free... So let my eyes disveil a world you are not guessing is just your own. * ----------------- Pencil 2b, b, hb on paper 1 hour aprox of work, real size 24 per 35 cm. No postwork. ---------- A new Rosity member for you all :) Please welcome Kimberly, aka Lalani "Kim" for many here. She's one of the most talented member of Photography Gallery, "Macro Princess" to those who admire her extraordinary talent in capturing the microcosm we are often too blind and busy to get fascinated from. This is the way I have decided to present her, like an ancient Roman beauty. She sent me 3 pictures less than 2 weeks ago and although I were really taken by work, I couldn't stop myself from drawing her immediately.All of the pics were beautiful, and I think I am gonna use them also for some Photoshop work, but what moved me at this interpretation of her were her beautiful eyes, so intense really were calling me out to fix the impression of "eternity" in a language that could hit. Eternity for me has many relations with glorious image of Ancient Rome...therefore I decided Lalani would have been lovely also in ancient dress and hairdo. Hope you can like, and hope she can too. It has been a pleasure to draw her beautiful face. :)

The cats are ouside sitting on the ruins. Here in the gallery we can finally interogate one of the puzzles. Why are there 23 Roman letters of the alphabet? The pearls invoke the ibis.

The left part of her nose looks a bit weird because of how you used the light and shadow there. You made it look like there is another lightsource close to her nostrils and that she has double noseflares. Other than that, good use of the pencils ;)

This has to be among your best portraits. Two things I want to mention straight away. One, that you're using much more subtle outlines now - much more considered - so you're not defining everything by such hard lines. Two, I prefer your signature now, much more subtle, it doesn't distract from the drawing anymore! Of course the hair is exquisite once again. Overall everything is much more subtle and it works better for that. Love your treatment of her, she's very beautiful :-)

So in your mind's eye you added these pearls and ornaments? It looks consistant with the rest of the picture too. Awesome job on the shading and the eyes in particular were like beams of heavenly sunshine. I think your drawing is becoming more confident. Well done sweet stuff.
