Description

Something very different for me - sure there is water involved, but this is a much softer, lighter and an alltogether more 'arty' drawing.  I fell in love with a brilliant photographers work - Nicolas Senegas  who s doing some fantastic work (check him out)  I did actually try and contact him to ask permission to draw this, unfortunately I never got a reply - so I may have to pull it from DA - but even if my drawing encourages just one of my watchers to go and look at his amazing photographs it will be worth the risk.

So what do I like about this - well the silky material of her dress was great to draw and the beautiful tattoos on the models arms were something new, but most of all I love how her hair worked out, hopefull i have managed to capture some depth to the hair, and the impression that it is underwater? This needs to be seen large scale, so I will leave a large format on DA :)

Drawn on Bristol Board smooth paper using traditional pencils including 4H, HB, 4B and 8B, some tissue paper and a blending stump. The whole drawing is quite long, about 60cm and took around 25 hours to complete, hope you like it as much as I do :)
