well there's my best drawing of rose thorn ("thorn") so far and i hope you like it because you just better. no questions lol. but i did work pretty hard on it for two days last week (thursday and friday) and it turned out better than i suspected it would.

the eyes are probably the most realistic eyes i have drawn on any protrait and this is by far the best portrait i have done so far. the hair was fun to draw. since i learned how to draw hair properly, it's actually quite easy. see all you have to do is shade the hair first as though it was a solid shape. you don't draw individual hair strands as most people will make the mistake doing. next, you draw the hair strands in over the shaded parts (and be sure to leave some bright highlights because hair is very reflective) and then some darker strands too.

if anyone reading this cares to see some of my other works, just send me an email and i will be sure to send some of them to you. remember, the scanner doesn't copy the exact contrast levels of the original drawing so it isn't the best reproduction of the work. geez, technology these days.
