Artist's Comments

This work reflects on how much of a process beauty really is in this era. I basically did it in three layers. Started with all the darks, except left eye and eyebrow (did that near the end) then drew the right hand side of the honey upside down so as not to smudge or mark or dirty the paper :D then the light side of the face last without resting my hand on the paper... This drawing took quite a while, but I think it was well worth the effort. The photo doesn't quite capture the detail i put into it, but thats alright because I can't get hold of a camera that will do it justice.

I don't smudge any of my drawings for those of you that asked.... I draw the gradients in kinda the same way someone would do paint washes..? Yeah. Thats the best way to describe it..

I do my thing,and you do your thing.I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,and you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you,and I am I,and if by chance,we find each other,it's beautiful. If not,it can't be helped. ~F.S. Pearls

First of all this is AMAZING... I don't know if I could ever get the transparency and viscosity of honey to show up like that. First class work.

Secondly, on the 2-scan merge... Instead of scanning the top, then flipping it over to scan the bottom, try scanning the top half, then MOVING it (still oriented the same way) to the bottom to scan.... Flipping it over is what's giving you the dark-to-light shade on opposite ends of the drawing.... I have a small scanner too, it used to happen to me all the time.

You can teach anyone to draw what they see with their eyes. It's all together different to teach someone to draw what they see with their mind's eye!
