Description
Hello:)
Something very different today. That's a portrait I've recently made just for practicing in charcoal at the Academy of Realist Art. It was was made from a photo reference:

NB: Visit this photographer website: http://www.piskaryov.com/
The idea was to make it as closer to the original as possible. It was a great experience and I took a lot of pleasure doing it while learning the medium.
Medium: Generals Charcoal, Farbriano Artistico white paper.

Classic excellent work!
Excellent work. I've never really understood the need for sight-size in the world of photographic references, but you've illustrated the value of the discipline admirably.
Wonderful portrait, so beautiful and delicate artistry.
Wow! Incredible work, just beautiful! ^^
Excellent piece.
Absolutely brilliant! Its so wonderful to see you posting again...and now you've gone and made me wistful for my canvas and paint again. sighs Sadly, pain issues no longer permit me to play with real media, so I content myself with Painter now, but I have to admit, this one makes my fingers twitch :P I cant wait to see what they have you do next! :)
A wonderful example of a wonderful medium; although, I used to do colored pastels. (Can't any more, because of coordination problems.) Lovely work.
I really am glad your back,yet another work to make me see that I have a long way to go.Weather in paints or any other medium it seems you can do no wrong.The hair and eyes are superb and shadows to great.
Charcoal is such a wonderful medium in the right hands and this is superb, full marks!!!!
Wonderful. I followed the link to your site and I love the images posted there.
Excellent work. Your drawing resembles very much the woman in the photograph. I tried long ago to draw in charcoal and all I got was dirty hands! 8-)
That is just so lovely and delicate - superb work! It surely can't be charcoal - where are all the smudge marks!! (Well it would have them if I'd done it...) Instant fav!
Magnificent in every way.
Larissa, you are a master. Seeing your work like this and Aerah literally brings tears to my eyes, knowing what this means to you, all you have gone through for it, and what you have accomplished. Thank you for posting this work... it means much more than it appears to.
Its wonderful work. You deserve great credit. +5
