What was the name of Sid Vicious's crazy wife/mistress/whatever she was? Reminds me of her.
Eyes!
A lot of people forget that the whites of eyes are never really startling white.. you added a lot of depth to them and honestly, this is freakin gorgeous. I'm not often a fan of coloured pencils, but her face is just.. really well done and slightly stylized - making it fun, interesting and at the same time realistic. Gonna go check out your other work now!
9/10: Would like to see the same care demonstrated elsewhere in the picture as it is in the focal point (face); so, less messy crosshatching - just personal preference!!
5/5: 'Cause it fuckin' rocks.
Interesting
I like how you used a mixture of blue and purple, and even a bit of green, to darken some areas rather than the boring black and grey; it really suits the theme. There's good use of lighting - especially in the eyes and lips and I can tell you have an eye for detail.
I'm trying to figure out what tools you used, am I right in thinking there's both oil pastels and colouring pencils?
Overall it's a really good image and there's nothing really I can find wrong with it.
Some positive criticism, however - unless it's a style or something, I think you need to keep the detail consistent throughout the image. I can see you put a lot of work into the face and some into the hair and chest, but the arm in the background looks a little awkward and rushed. If I finish the picture in my head, the angle on the forearm makes it look inhumanely long.
But that's only because I'm really critical about detail, anyone else would call it perfect.
.....wait....
they don't count these as sketches?
very nice detailing, but I don't see any deeper meaning/message in it.
