I draw for my own pleasure, I'm sorry but I don't take commissions, for drawings or My Little pony customs anymore.
I run a blog with my best friend H. 'Live it. Love it. Make it' . I also run a shop in my home town selling fabric and haberdashery as well as a photography business with my lovely husband. I make all kinds of crafts, jewelry and headpieces and fascinators. I'm a busy lady my drawings are my down time hobby, I hope you enjoy my gallery, I always enjoy reading your comments as long as they are friendly, like me <3

ok so ur really really good.
proportions are spot on, likeness, spot on.

i want to encourage you to really push the quality of the hair and the skin tone.

try to grab the transition between light and dark areas even though there is contrast. the majority of the time, there shouldn't be a part of the paper, pencil hasn't touched. a persons face is never entirely pure white. (unless its extreme contrast of light across the face)
took me years to figure that out.

go ahead and draw absolutely everything you see on the reference, i guess spend that little bit more time to get everything u can. every mark is a mark closer to perfection.

i dunno if its something you want to achieve but thats how u take this thing to the next level. ur too good not to move forward in this way.

great work

peace

Hi, Thanks for your comments, I really appreciate your feedback on my work. You can probably see from some of the earlier pieces and the works in my scrapbook that I used to shade everything, fill in every detail, shade every inch of the page. As my style has developed I have found that I really like drawing in heavy contrast. I like my black and white photography the same way at the moment. I may go back to complete shading some day and yes in reality the original reference photographs that I work from(before I edit them) don't contain much white at all. But the style I go for at the moment is a hybrid of photo-realism and Caricature. So absolute accuracy is not essential for me personally as far as shading is concerned, its more about capturing the essence of the features of the person I am drawing. Thanks again for your kind words about my work.
Many thanks
