Artist's Comments

Done as a Christmas present for my brother Max. The completeled version has different [better] hair, but sadly I forgot to take a picture of it before I wrapped it, so this is it. The hair is ok, I just know it could be better. :P

Done on 11x14" pastel board. Background is watered down acrylic. Hat and dress ink, skin and shading acrylic paint.

Is there anybody going to listen to my story,
All about the girl who came to stay?
She's the kind of girl you want so much it makes you sorry,
Still you don't regret a single day.
Ah girl, girl.
When I think of all the times I tried so hard to leave her,
She will turn to me and start to cry,
And she promises the earth to me and I believe her,
After all this time, I don't know why.
Ah girl, girl.
She's the kind of girl who puts you down,
When friends are there, you feel a fool,
When you say she's looking good,
She acts as if it's understood,
She's cool - oh.
Ah girl, girl.
Was she told when she was young the pain would lead to pleasure?
Did she understand it when they said
That a man must break his back to earn his day of leisure,
Will she still believe it when he's dead?
Ah girl, girl.
-The Beatles

Oh my, I wish I could paint traditionaly like that! Never touched a canvas like that in my life, sadly

Looks great though! I love it/her!
:icongirlwatching:
aww thank you! its not on a canvas its on pastel board (canvas is kind of difficult just because of the texture) but I'm sure you could! you never know til you try.

Your welcome.
Ok, i see the difference now, and no. I doubt I can paint like that.
:icongirlwatching:
so pessimistic. its pretty easy. you put paint on the brush and then put the brush where you want the color. you should try. artists can never expand until they practice and experiment. :D
