Drawing of Giulia

A drawing of a photo by ~MrWodensday: Giulia
Any congratulations or comments on the composition and all that stuff should go directly to the photo, just follow the link. I just draw the photo again.

I have done this drawing to prove to myself that I can do it. And I'm really happy with the result, I'm nearly a bit impressed by myself... and that doesn't happen much often.

I first thought the scarf would be the hardest part for the rexture, but it wasn't. The important thing is to understand why it looks like it does, which parts have to be dark or bright. Make the rough shading of the part you draw and than apply this 'system' of the texture. It does not fit exactly the reference but I don't expect anyone to compare the number of knob in the reference and the drawing.
