Tarja Turunen

Tarja Turunen is the greatest singer of all time. I'm not gonna argue that everyone should love her, but seriously, from the foundations of what great voices are made of, she is the one to beat, and she even has personal style.
Trained soprano, lead singer of the amazing band: Nightwish, but now she's finally persuing her solo career, and has her first album available: My Winter Storm....
(Yes. I did just turn this description into a commercial.)

But about the drawing: I used 3 different graphite pencils: 4H(very hard/light), F(standard pencil), and 7B(extremely soft/dark).
Rendered entirely with cross-hatching (NO Blending or smudging)... Hatching is the cleanest (and most time consuming) way to achieve realism in drawing. But hey, patience is a virtue.
