It is the truth that B/W portraits get to have a different artistic significance,a dramatic approach to one's heart and eye.Since i did this already in color,i had to try in graphite too.

Time for everbody
Listen to the sound
and all the lonely people
live beneath the ground
don´t listen to another
just listen to yourself
only changes can happens
when you change yourself
I want run
I want hide
I only want to live
To live my life


Breathe of pain
I´m the ruler of my world
Breathe in peace
I´m the ruler of the world


I courage of conviction
In everything you do
Course every little action
Only falls on to you
And I don´t want excuses
To hear your bitterness
There´s far to many people
Who want to give their best
I want run
I want hide
I only want to live
To live my life

Portraying the emotion of the subject drawn is essential to a great work of portraiture, and the reference chosen does just that. With strong contrast, and engaging of the woman's eyes, and an interesting angle, a feeling is strongly conveyed.

The majority of this drawing is executed flawlessly. The detail put into the lips and wisp of hair crossing the hair is very impressive. However, the depiction of the eyes majorly deviates from the reference. I'm not sure what is meant to be portrayed in the unusual textures below them (also above the eyebrows and lips), but to me they are particularly unsettling. The improper handling of highlights I can handle (many highlights are too harsh or misplaced), but the presence of these textures cannot be excused.

Overall this portrait displays exceptional skill and capacity for detail. With a more careful watch on the textures and highlights of a drawing, I believe you will reach a point of exceptional quality.
