Description
Occasionally, I do realistic protraits. I rarely do them though because they are so time consuming for me to do and I lack the attention span to finish them in a timely manner. I do them, however, because it is great practice, and I like the overall finished look when I finally do complete it.Edit- I edited the image up a bit and like this version better.

Gorgeous traditional piece I love the emotion conveyed - its so overwhelming and eerily beautiful - only pencil could do it so well. Fantastic work

"Lack of attention span"? x'd It's really really nice. You are highly skilled I can see that.

Thank you!
ADD and art often mix, however, when they do, the artists work on several projects at the same time and instead of finishing the one they started first, that one will be lucky if it is finished in six months.
I think this picture took me... about eight months to do from start to finish. Lack of attention span...

Ah. I know about the ADD and the concentration that goes with it (often that of a squirel) I also have ADD. So I know everything about it. And you're welcome. 8 months? Wow. you're better at long time art then me x'd my longest thing took me 2 hours and that's because I was distracted.

I usually am working on other things at the same time. I work full time and, though I am not in college at the moment, I am still studying like a full time student for when I return to college. Unfortunately, my art is usually put on the back burner which is why it usually takes so long.
