Skin Deep

Actually finished sometime in 2006 for my observational drawing class final. Done entirely with ballpoint pen.

You can also buy this as a print and see it in my DA gallery here: http://youkaiyume.deviantart.com

I love how you've paired beauty with horror in this; they contrast one another. Much the same as black and white contrast one another...hmmm, yummy food for thought

That's some awesome details and still-life drawing right there. It's also very surreal with the skeletion reflection :O!

Wow! This is in PEN?! I can't stop looking at it.

I really like the theme of this picture, too. And you executed it really well, I agree.

Oh, wow! This is awesome! The theme is totally unexpected, but executed well, and the penwork is outright amazing *can barely get a pen to write for her* I have a friends who does pen, so I know secondhand how difficult and time-consuming it can be, and frankly, you're a god in my eye. ^___^

  Haha. You flatter too much. It just takes a bit of patience is all. This pic took my fourteen hours if I recall.

  I flatter not at all! This is pure skill, patient or otherwise. ^^
