Artist's Comments

So this is Floor Jansen, don't you know who she is? O.O, you don't know what you're missing!! This woman has one of the most wonderful voices ever, she's the vocalist from the dutch band After Forever, check them out only to enjoy her beautiful voice.

Anyway, I can yell out proud this is my best drawing ever!! :D I didn't spent 20h as I was used to, I spent 7 or so but I worked sooooooooooooo much, i drew even the smallest detail, high detailed portrait (never as detailed as other portraits i've seen, of course), anyway, i'm so proud of myself, i impressed myself :D!! I wanted to make her perfect cos I admire her so much! Just like Bunbury. Anyway, the same as always, paper gvarro 170gr, mostly 2B pencil and also 2H and 4H pencils. A rubber for the highlights.

*EDIT* I could give it to her and she liked it very much, also did Sander ^^ which is great, because he's an arts teacher, he said to me: "I give you a 10!" ^^

excellent job! good contrast and everything. And I would have to agree that out of most of your pencil drawings, this one is one of the best executed. Be very proud!

aww, thank you so much, everyone's made for what they're made, you can draw excellent cartoons (i've seen your gallery, haven't commented yet) but you can't do realism, in my case, i can do realism but i can't do cartoons, i personally think that cartoons, surrealism... etc need more skills than what it's needed for realism

cartoons for me are a lazy version of realism. its not /quite/ real, but still looks fine... and it takes slightly less time...well, for me anyway. >.>

Beautiful work! Great contrast, and an excellent choice of reference/composition.

I'm amazed this hasn't got more comments, as it's really realistic! You've got the skin shading so smooth and proportions are perfect. You made her eyes look really pretty and shiny.
And I really like the composition and shadows too - she looks very thoughtful :)
