TheEnigmatics  05/25/03 @847

It's awesome of course, but did you look at a photo, do it from your imagination, or look at a real person?

kv9  05/26/03 @827

awesome. i gave it 5 points. at times i wish i could draw =]

acidlullaby  05/26/03 @845

*blink* *blink* *worship*

RCU2  05/27/03 @434

To answer a few qestions: - The pencil illustration is just under A3 in size and was produced using a range of pencils only. I used photographic reference to achieve as realistic a look as possible, it wasn’t intended to be a work of art merely a good sample for my portfolio. As it wasn’t produced as a professional commission I was able to spend longer on the drawing to achieve the desired result (commissions always have tight deadlines & as a result the standard tends to be lower). .......& many thanks for the nice comments.

stolenwings  05/27/03 @519

Most excellent pencil use!

m0bus  05/27/03 @668

juliette  05/27/03 @902

nikko  05/28/03 @619

I'm not sure it is possible to do it any better!!!

RCU2  05/28/03 @635

I'm working on another pencil girl, hopefully it will be as good as the above (assuming it doesn't all go horribly wrong).

Lobogris  05/31/03 @075

DEVARSHY  07/06/03 @898

Hey Guys, This is amazing! no doubt ...anyone heard of an artist called george stavrinos????? and of course Hajime sorayama..... this is sorayama in pencil!!! sometimes I cant believe what i see!!!

RCU2  07/07/03 @364

Thanks for the compliment Devarshy & no I'm afraid I haven’t heard of the two artists you mentioned but I will endeavour to find out more when I have the time. Thanks again to everyone who has posted encouraging comments about Pencil Girl.

DEVARSHY  07/07/03 @663

SORAYAMA'S OFFICIAL WEBSITE IS WWW.SORAYAMA.NET ,Just for ur ref ,Rcu2.and there's not much on the net about stavrinos....but his work is jus about the best i have ever seen in pencil renderings.check out the book if you can , called New York Fashion Illustrators.Cheers

RCU2  07/08/03 @414

Devarshy, I looked at the website and you're right Sorayama's work is pure genius, I think I may have seen one of his books many years ago when I was a student.

catxlion  07/25/03 @150

i, waht can i say, i love b&w art, but this, is just awesome.... excelent work.

radink  08/21/03 @602

simply stunning!! Nice work!!

shugotenshi  09/24/03 @689

I'm digging the pencil artists in this forum...WOW!

weaponx  10/14/03 @688

I have to say it is really annoying when people criticize a work like this as not being creative. Some people are just too jealous of technical talent to give props where it is due. Take this for what it is: a piece to show this talented artists eye for detail. Its really well done. Respect, RCU2!

silverdragonaf  10/15/03 @803

a realy good job! yep

Unknown visitor  10/16/03 @632

The skin tones on this are so well executed. I like the darks in her blonde hair. I'm working on a drawing of a blonde now and this is making me re-think how her hair is at the moment. I'm also rethinking her skintones because of this.

Mefistofeles  08/03/05 @727

I'm going to go shoot myself now. After seeing that I realised that no matter how long or how hard I try I will never, ever, ever, ever, until the end of the world, produce something of that quality. I bow to you sir.
