This is amazing. It shows so much emotion. Definite fave.

this is amazing, especially using conte-crayon. Nice to see something real instead of a computer. :)

gracias!

Very realistic!!!
Awesome work!!
Keep it up!!

Thank you, I will!

That is great!!! I wish I could draw real people!! All I can do is cartoon styled people. = (

It takes lots of practice! I think if you tried you could. Thanks for the compliment! :)

wow. enough said. x

Thanks! ;)

This is really amazing. I thought that it was a photo at first and then I thought "wait a minute, photo's aren't allowed on this site...OMG!"The detail in this eyelashes is astonishing and everything is so smooth and even looking! Beautifully done!

Wow, Mucho Gracias!

I will admit this picture is very well made.
But who is the model? Did you use a photo reference?

Thank you! The model is my very close friend, Brianna. Yes, I snapped a picture as she was blow drying her, I think it's spelt, boutique...? I used the photo as a reference.

WOW IT IS SO AMAZING I WISH I COULD BE AS GOOD AS AN ARTIST AS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!1XA TRILLOIN

Psh! You totally could do what I can. Just keep practicing and building up your technique! People may say that it's only talent, but you could totally learn to be talented! ;) And thank you for your comment. :)

No bloomin' way! i thought it was a pro photo!

wow, thanks! :)

...Whoa!

Danke!

That's some great traditional work. :)

Thank you!

Thats really good!

Thank you!

this really reminds me of a photo I saw of Amy Lee one time. It's really good, and if it says anything, I thought it was a photo.

Wow, thanks! That's awesome :)

cool it's really good

Thanks!

THAT is soo Amazing!! what do you use? it kinda look by photoshop or corel draw...awesome.

It's called "Conte" it's like a hard chalk, kind of like pastel, but a bit harder than that even.  I used the black, white, and gray conte

Glad to hear it´s not photoshop, awesome work.

By the way, you should probably explain what Conte is hahahaha. I don't think most of the people on this site seem to know what what you are talking about and think its some computer software (which I guess is a compliment). Of course, maybe they just don't read :)

Yeah, OK.  I thought that was funny too and very complimentary.  I noticed that people use a lot of that computer software stuff on here.  I've never even tried doing that stuff, although it probably is an entirely new technique that you would have to learn.  But, I like to do everything the dirty way :).  I guess I didn't even learn about conte until my senior year of high school.  It's so insignificant haha, but to ease the confusion I I'll explain. :)

Yeah thats the conte I'm talking about. What type of paper did you use? Again, I have little experience with it. I've got several conte crayons but have only used them on illustration board so I bet its great on bristol board or something. :D

I have no idea what kind of paper it is.  I really never paid much attention to that.  All I know is that it is super soft and smooth paper, very well for blending.  And is like the only kind of paper that I found that works the best with any kind of pastel, chalk, or conte.  Not even "chalk paper" is good.  it's too rugged for me.  If you want it smooth, find smooth paper.  :)

I hate you, I hate conte too, which is why I hate you for being so good at it :(

Of course, I've only used a conte crayon though, so I'm not sure what other ways you can use conte.

lol, thank you?! :) The conte I use is like this square stick which brakes in half easily...I don't know if that's the crayon or not though.

Lovely!  This is getting a fave!

Thank you!

This looks amazing! If you hadn't said so, I'd have thought it was a photo! And it looks so smooth c:

Thanks, yeah that's why i like Conte, you can make drawings very smooth

AMAZING!

THANKS! ;)

Wow. Thats amazing. What did you use to draw this?

Conte, I've been saying it's like chalk but I meant that's like Charcoal except it's less messy and a little harder.

and thanks for the compliment!

Wow, remarkable <3 <3 I don't think photos look as good.

Wow, thank you!

OMG, i totally didn't even realize that it was featured until you told me. lol. Thank you. That's definatly a first. :) Thanks for the compliments, it really pays off for working so hard on it!

woaw It looks almost as if it where a picture, very good

Thank you!

Thank you!

u made it with pencils?

not, pencils, conte. It's like chalk

wow! amazin. wat programme did you use to make this?

Wow, thanks! No program though, I did this with just conte, which is like this chalk stuff, and...my fingers :)

Wow, beautiful is all I can say. It looks so realistic. :)

Thank you, it's one of my best so far. It's feels good to read compliments like that!

Wow you did this with conte!! That's awesome.

Yep, it was pretty messy :) but it came out pretty! Thank you!

Holy COW, thank you! It means alot to me that you like it :)

xD OMG! Such beautiful eye lashes!

Thanks, they were difficult to work around. I probably should have put them in towards the end, but I got too ahead of myself :)
