They are stunning! I love the faces and they have such a unique look. The shading is very lovely as well. It's such a visually interesting concept that fits your world perfectly.Β

Thank you. It's based on a friend of mine I used to work with. She was a great model, her face is so cool looking.

It really is lovely. Do you have any plans to add color to this piece?Β

Not yet, any suggestions?

As I said in my comment a few days ago, if you like it black and white I would just leave it black and white. I'm pretty behind on commenting again, so you might have even decided to color it by now

That sounds like a good idea, I actually sold the original but I could color it digitally.

Congratulations on the sale! I sometimes just make colors up as I go along with whatever I am feeling at the time. The big plus to digital coloring is that you can easily change your mind if you aren't liking it. Β

Thanks. Yeah, I don't really know color theory.
I've had digitally colored works where the sky was blue for most of the time,
then i'd make it orange, and a whole new life would come into the piece.
You have a little more freedom to change with paint, but I used to do color with
marker and colored pencil, once you pick a color, you're kinda stuck with it. Β Β

I like this one. There is a nice mix of detail and shading in the image. The face are well done, though I still might lighten up the lights around eyes and mouths just a bit. They still sit more on top of the face instead of being with the face. However, I do think the figure on the right with the closed eyes works very well.

Cool! thanks!
I think the face of the one on the right needs to be lightened up and smoothed out.
Or maybe she's just had a hard life.

Lol, wrinkles?

Yes! Just the lower right under her lips, needs to be lightened.

Their faces are absolutely beautiful, this has to be my favourite of your drawings.

Wait, after all this time, a new drawing wins over the others?
I must be going in the right direction.
It really means a lot to me this one is your favorite.
Thank you!

Β Thanks! I don't know,
As in the Chelsea Drugstore of rolling stone fame as well a clockwork orange.
I think it's in london. Β

Yeah. The London version. It's a bit different than NYC. I thought you might be referencing Andy Warhol's Chelsea Girls.

Yeah, Chelsea seems to up a lot in hippie culture, I just wondered what it meant, but I guess it's just a place. Β

I think it's because the Beatles and the Stones both lived there. It was London's hippy mecca for awhile.

Crazy though, an English friend told me that in those days the "hippie" thing was only for the posh rich kids.
So ironic.
