girl - colored paper study

[Dominie_Dirtch]

Derwent H Pencil on toned paper 2-3 hours (too long..). From a photo. This is the first scan, I am going in to do white highlights next. Part of a series of friends, all on all different colors of toned paper.
C&C welcome.

(the scanner is giving me crap, please forgive if it appears too saturated, or just wrong on your monitor)

Dominie_Dirtch - Nice drawing! :D it is very nice. i like how you did this piece. i curious to know why did you position her at the bottom corner? is that going be a roccuring them in your series? i like the fact that you also used toned paper, it makes the drawings more interesting. The only thing that actually bothers me is that black void, it is very distracting. also you can see her shoulder or anything in there? i know it is probably really dark with little contrast in that spot, but i think you should try to see what is going on in there with the tones to help make this drawing even stronger. hope this was helpful and good luck on the rest of them.
