Thank you
Mike and
Carolyn, glad you like it!
I used 2 4"X6" color photos as reference. Snapped those photos a few weeks ago at my college after the morning lectures. Almost had to beg her to let me take those photos. She was so shy, didn't want to pose at first but I'd been begging her ever since we met. After seeing some of my old stuff, she finally gave in. The reason I drew her a lot is kind of pathetic, I don't get lovely models to pose for me very often. The funny thing is these girls don't love themselves as much as I love them

They have lovely faces, why being so shy?
Wonder how you guys get people to pose for art. Anyone can give me some tips? I can't afford to pay too much money though.
I can't afford to hire a model at this stage, so I'll have to do heaps of mirror self portraits if I want to work from life

well, the next drawing will definitely be a self portrait.
