"Touching the Core"





I don't want to say that i stock pile drawing but i have plenty of different drawing that i would like to draw that i have yet to complete. Actually this picture of Cara is from her online profile that she used. I've learned when you draw people as often as i have you have a connection with them. The connection grows deeper once you know them on a personal level. The more common things become the better the drawing becomes because it transcends color and lines on a surface.
This drawing started off as simply a pen drawing (something which i haven't attempted in some time) and grew into stretching/reaching for markers to complete it. I tried my best to use the color sparingly so they didn't' become the focal point of the piece.
** Now what really happened which luckily is a good thing for me is i got a chance to talk to Cara about this piece. Sometimes you need a 2nd set of eyes to see what is actually not working with art work. She pointed out some small details which i corrected (her chin was to long and her bust was extremely stylized.). So now this almost looks like a finished drawing.**
