Artist's Comments

:faint: My poor hand hurts after six straight hours spent finishing this. I don't know why I do it to myself, I truly don't. =P

I knew I had to draw this the minute I saw it. There were such lovely shadows and details to tackle, and I knew it would be a challenge, and I couldn't resist. :D

I also drew it for the Art for Art's Sake contest [link]

Ref: Kate Winslet
Time: 16 hours
Materials: 9B, 5B, B and H pencils, mechanical pencils and tissue.

Thanks for looking! :)

I can see why you felt you had to do it. It's a great pose with perfect contrasts for a graphite piece. Your rendering is first rate.
