Artist's Comments

When I look at this girl I feel as if she is holding on to a secret. A secret that makes her sad and vulnerable. She’s hiding something in those beautiful eyes of hers, something she can never tell. Because of she beauty she holds she can deceive you and makes sure who ever discovers her secret will “shh” about it forever…
That’s what I see, maybe you see something else :)

I used a photo of the beautiful Robin as my model. I love her look and when I saw this photo: [link] it really caught my eye, but I didn’t have an idea till yesterday, as I didn’t just want to draw it as it was, I wanted to make something special with it and with a meaning.
As you probably notice the photo of Robin is black and white which made it better for me in a way, I always find it hard to draw from colour photos and somehow it sparks the creativity. I tried opening her eyes a bit more than the original as it was rather hidden and I think the look in the girl’s eyes is rather important. I think I got a hint of sadness/unhappiness showing.

The drawing is made with pastels again, I am SO in love with those these days. I can just sit for hours and hours without thinking of anything else, it’s crazy.
With this drawing I tried to work on giving the skin more depth. I am working on another big big drawing of a dark girl in which I tried making the skin look very pale, I tried to make this one more warm. I will post the dark girl I am working on soon, just taking a very long time and I kind of don't want to finish it cause I love working on it.

The drawing is 30x40 cm /12x16 “, it’s not a scan but a photo as my scanner don’t handle colour drawings very well and I wanted to show the original as much as possible.

I hope you like, comments much appreciated :heart:

Wow Zindy, I love this, once again. I'm particularly fond of your pastel drawings, the result is both dense and sweet to me, and this medium suits your style very well. I immediately recognized Robin's ref. pic: I drew her with pastels a few weeks ago too.

i think her hand is too big in comparison to her face. Otherwise, it's a brilliantly done picture.

I think i'd like to see some different styles coming from you. You've pretty much perfected one style, it would be good to see you stretch yourself and try your hand at somethign different :)

HELP: I am looking for the deviation of Lord Voldemort saying something along the lines of "Expelliarmus? What the HELL, Rowling?!" to show someone but CAN'T FIND IT- if you know where it is, please note me or leave a link on my page!!!

Wow Zindy :D You are making me curious about those pastel pencils. I've tried them a bit in the art shop and they seem very fun to draw with.
:icontvissoc:
You do hair incredibly well!
:iconzindy:
I'm happy you like it, especially since it's of you :) I really love that photo of you, like most pictures of you.. you are beautiful, so I most likely will be drawing you again sometime.
I added the makeup the same way as my previous drawing cause you seemed to like it :)
I wish I could show you the original though, is something different.
:iconzindy:
You think I perfected this style? I am just starting :)
I have more sketchy drawings in my gallery as well. The face/human will always be my focus if that's what you mean, I don't have the same passion when I draw something else.
