Artist's Comments

Just testing if my new drawing paper can draw seductive dark girls too ;)

It was some work to do the red background and to get her hair and clothing this dark. This paper is best with light colours it seems but still it turned out alright after lots of layers. I am happy the paper didn’t rip.
I have wanted to do a darker girl, with black hair and red/black outfit to get another expression than using pink/black. It somehow looks more in the eye. The dress is my own, expect it’s light pink and black. The bra part I made up. I had to give her light piercing green eyes, as I think it looks amazing with black hair and a little tan.
The title is simply her little star tattoo on her hip. I used a reference as base for her body but changed both shading/the way the light fell and her face.

I'm on a journey going very dark with colour pencils these days. I'd really like to be able to create a realism yet with a drawn feel.

Made with Suprasoft colour pencils (the best)

Cast light upon the darkened Earth
Save those lost in despair
O' Mighty Ocean guide us as we journey through
The darkest pit of night
May time, ever fleeting, forgive us
We who have forsaken our song and buried our future

wow...beautiful work. I've been using Prismacolors for my colored pencil work, and while they're nice enough, I've been thinking of trying another brand. I love the way your layers of color work here...it's quite lovely.

Thank you for sharing! I've new inspiration to work with my colored pencils a bit more, which would be a GOOD thing...seeing how I'm trying to move away from digitally coloring so much!

KUDOS! :D

When one has dealings with scholars and artists it is easy to miscalculate in opposite directions: behind a remarkable artist one not infrequently finds a mediocre man, and behind a mediocre artist often a very remarkable man.

Did you do this completely with colored pencils or did you draw it first then color it? It looks great btw. ^^

My pencil greats stronger everyday, soon it will erase the sun and redraw as it sees fit...

Thank you :) I've heard very good things about Prismacolour but I have never tried them myself. The ones I use are very soft and good to blend together + they have such nice nuances. I would never try anything else now I think, they are excellent :)

A good beginning is half the battle.
