Artist's Comments

This is the best photo you'll get of the whole thing...It looks way better in life, but what can you do. I took this picture with our older camera. I have no idea what it is, but it's not digital :P

This is much lighter than the real drawing is. To get a feel of the real skintone, you can look at [link]

This got Grand Champion at the county fair, and is going to be entered in the state fair along with 'Timeless.' I hope they do well :)

This drawing is really different from the reference. I did a lot of things kinda differently, unintentionally :P But even though I messed up a lot, I think it still looks like Audrey. Which is amazing :XD:

I used woodless graphites (2B, 4B, 6B) and tissue paper for blending. But I mainly used a mech. pencil. I lurv them :)

This was started May 12 and finished by the end of June.

EDIT: This was featured on the front page at fanartcentral.net! :dance:

EDIT (again) : This was in my high school yearbook, and the literary magazine! I didn't even know it was in the latter until I actually got one :o

This absolutely beautiful! I really love the expression and the fine details in this piece. What really grabbed my attention was on eyes, they have the dollish looks that makes me love it! Congratz on the winning, your piece really deserved it!

Ok - just looked at the reference image.
