Giving up. . . .


Well, here is my most recent drawing. I'm really proud of it. Everyone thinks it's really nice. It looks so much better in real life. She was a beautiful model and I had the best spot ever. This picture was taken a day before I finished it so the other hand and thighs are finished. . . so it looks even better now. But, lately I've come to really really appreciate what I have given up to be able to draw this. Where I could have been if I had stayed home became very apparent this week, in all different kinds of ways. So, I hope you guys appreciate this, because I have chosen to do this and have given up alot, so I WILL be offeneded if you don't appreciate it :) jk But seriously, this symbolizes all the sleep, money, beauty, relationships of all kinds, fun, I have sacrificed. Hope you enjoy! :)

It is almost "other worldly" in the serenity yet exotic flavor. What an amazing drawing!
