Molly Sherrick Phifer - Thanks for your kind words. It's just under life size and I think it's somewhere around 16 x 20 size. That's a really rough estimate...but around that size. The paper I am using is a pale blue canson mi-tientes...normally I use the front side heheh. This took about 4 hours but I should have been able to do it in 2 hours. I ran into some problems with the likeness that I had to figure out. But it was about 4 hours. It was from life as well. I haven't ever done anything from a photographic before but I think it would probably take me longer than doing it from life at this point.
Enzie Shahmiri - Thanks! I will definitely post up some more when I can. I'm always a sucker for having the model look straight at me...It's an easy way to draw the viewer eyes.
