4B pencil on watercolour paper Referenced from [link] When I first saw it I was so taken with it that I just had to ask *BatDesignz permission to draw it. (Go snoop around his gallery, an amazing collection of photography awaits you).
So, this is what I did with my life today. I've decided that perhaps this isn't such a good idea, because once I'd finished it and stood back I realised there was a million things I should have changed. Perhaps one should take breaks while working to make sure you aren't making really dim mistakes.... Perhaps one should also use more than one grade of pencil also.
EDIT: I hate my scanner. Has anyone any suggestions to stop the grain of the paper showing up this strongly??

I like this a lot! It's so peaceful and silent. Makes me calm just to look at it. The lighting is beautiful, but it's very light, difficult to make out the face vs. the shirt and the background. And you're completely right, it's always a good idea to step away from your drawing at times. Hang it on the wall, look at it in the mirror (that's a very harsh way of telling what's wrong, I've noticed ) You just have the tendency to get "blinded" by it if you keep working non-stop.

I'm not as crazy as I look... I'm a lot worse than that!
you're absolutely right, it being too light is one of the things that was bugging me about it. I need to try more people to get the confidence to make darker marks I guess. Mirrors can be depressing.....

this is a great piece love the way it is drawn especially using watercolour paper did you not find it difficult to draw on this media?? I know what you mean about the scanner, don't worry as I get this problem all the time! Though sadly there isn't much you can do without removing the quality of your piece Keep up the great work

`karemelancholia is one of the most genuine deviants you could ever met. Always active and a true deviantART cheerleader and supporter in every aspect. You can always count on her to lend a hand or get involved, and you usually will find her doing large amounts of both at any given moment. She's consistently reports on contests around dA, showcases the efforts of her fellow artists and shows her charitable side through various activities. Besides all of this, she's a truly talented artist which is why she's an obvious choice for deviousness this month. Read More

I think the texture shows up to strongly here, which is taking from the picture
