Artist's Comments

Ok...so I like drawing girls...sue me!! ;) (Wink) This is Lara * pullmyheartstrings photographed by Sarah ~cellointhbasemnt they are both extremely talented and sooooo much fun to draw!! (pretty pretty!).
When I saw their galleries I couldn't stop drawing them...so...I am sure I will submit more portraits of them.
This photo was pretty perfect...I didn't want to change anything at all about it (so I guess there is no credits for creativity here)...but the lighting and the little details were a big challenge...I loved working on it...

The photo I used as a reference is here [link]

Daily Deviation

Given 2003-08-07

Though you might think there's no skill involved in airbrushing a photo, pull my heart strings by *vk shows just how much is involved in creating a truly beautiful rework of a digital photo. I encourage you to take a look at not only this wonderful piece, but also her entire gallery. (Selected by +splat) (Featured by `splat)

w o w . This is excellent. As a thumbnail, I thought it was an actual photograph.

I love the way you made the hair look so soft.

The eyes look very real.

Ive always found hands really hard to draw, but you really made them look fabulous here.

Keep up the awesome work!!!!


What the hell did you use to make this look so flawless? I just cant stop looking at it.

Wow...really fantastic artwork... that's very well done

I don't like the piercings, too, but if it was on the pic, there's nothing to say...

Wow!

Thats incredable lighting and colouring, so damn nice.

When it was thumbnailed I thought it was a photograph. You should be proud!

The credit and merit are in what you've given to the art. I don't think I'm alone in saying that what you give in your art is magic that only a true art lover, with no hang-ups, can enjoy. As I do. Heart

The skin is a wonderful tone and kept beautiful in your painting of light and shadow.

The hair, one of the hardest things for any artist to do, is awe inspiring.

The eyes are simply mesmerizing with the amount of detail you put into them.

And in painting the metal!!!! Wow... I'm amazed at your wonderful ability to paint metal surfaces alone... But you've also followed the lights, shadows and reflections. Simply amazed.
