Said Hamlet to Ophelia,
I'll draw a sketch of thee,
What kind of pencil shall I use?
2B or not 2B?
:iconmjbivouac:
Yes, she is! Uh...I mean IT is. Thanks for the favorite!

This is stunning! The shading is fantastic and for some reason I especially like her belly button. :heart:

What?! You just have some ridiculously bad luck or something...i don't see how they could turn this down. :no: You did such an excellent job with the anatomy here...i'm just wowed by how perfect her torso is. The musculature and the bone structure are just perfect. I also like the little details - such as the shadow underneath the bow on her hip. I just like this one so much...perhaps b/c it's more realistic than some of your other work. She looks great as always :D

In case you care... Her waist is much too narrow, and her head (in the original) is a liitle too big, but I have repairec it digiatlly here. I was skeptical when the Art Director made these two comments, but when I really looked at the drawing I had to admit he was 100% correct! He was willing to let me fix it digitally, but by that time the deadlione was only three hours away and I wasn't sure I could fix it in that amount of time, so I bowed out.

This is fantastic! Awesome pencil shading...
Although she isn't exactly anatomically realistic, I still think it really works- as some of those old pinup artists did augment and stylize the model's proportions.
