wow -- the shading and detail are fantastic I'm continually impressed with your talent, Miss Crystal.
I like the morbidness of the first one (definately something I would put on my wall) But I really love the grace in the second one!!! She looks so spiritual. You are getting way better at proportion!
hahaha yeah i try to draw something everyday. i really feel i need to make up for lost time(8 years without art was a long time ) thanks guys its really cool getting postive comments like this!(i do like it when people point out things i need to work on though as well, because then it really helps me )
im not cappable of even coming close to stuff like that. portraits are far from my thing. but they both rock... have u thought about softening the edges of the nose in the 1st one? like make the shadows coming off the angles softer
