Artist's Comments

A portrait of the beautiful and very talented French woman Vanessa Paradis. I loved the photograph and just had to try capturing the same feeling I got from it.

Drawn on A4 paper with 3B, 8B, 9B pencils. Used charcoal for the background.

Thank you :D I'll make a link for the photo soon.
I've been working on this on and off for about month, but I couldn't say how many hours (stopped counting after the third)

You're Danish, I'm Danish - but hey, might as well do this is English!

I really like this piece. The softness of it really appeals to me, and there's something about the pose. I see why you picked that exact picture to as a reference. The work on the light hair is really good - again, it's the softness and smothness, it's light somehow.

Well hello my fellow Dane! And thank you very much for the fav and the nice comment!
The hair was a pain though, next time I think I'll draw a bald guy ;)
