At last, the second drawing I've not enjoyed doing is now finished. That's two in one week, pretty good for me! I really like the shape of this. It's a wooden souvenir brought back from Bali a few years ago. I'm not sure why I didn't enjoy it but it may be because when I completed the outline I thought it made a lovely line drawing. I should have scanned it then but I thought I'd shade it and maybe like it better - wrong! From then on, it just got more and more tedious.
I had a bit of difficulty with the values in the face. It may be because I'm so used to drawing faces that I couldn't stop thinking of the face as real. So I wanted to make the eyebrows darker, the eyes more lifelike, the hair darker etc. Part of my brain kept overriding what I was seeing!
Anyway, it's finished! HB and B pencils.

AWESOME!! You are one MASTER as shading, whether you like what you're doing or not!
Fantastic again Felicity. Showed Dd this one because she was standing behind me at the time and she said "blimey, they're good aren't they" So 100% support from Rainbows then.
Absolutely gorgeous and awe inspiring. The shade work is exquisite Felicity, I love Balinese art.

I think this is one superb drawing! Bali is one of my favorite vacation places and I know the art quite well. Your rendering of the piece is marvelous!
love it! again, as usual, your pencils drawings are just so awe-inspiring! just hope that some day i can achieve something close to your level of ability! thanks for sharing your drawings and the events of your life!
Even though it was tedious to complete, I think it is very beautiful. Maybe you should go back and do another one the way you originally intended. I would love to see the comparison between the shaded and line version.
Felicity, the detail you achieve just amazes me!
