let me know what you think!

 

i love it

 

Wow! amazing! I thought it was real and had to look closer...it looked like a grainy black and white picture. That's gorgeous

 

yea thats is really cool, well done

 

I agree that it has a certain photographic effect. VERY well done.

 

That looks quite beautiful! I could never do that.

 

Snoogins, Katie. You've got some talent!

 

oh wow that's awesome! last year i did a drawing of a skeleton with white conte crayon on black paper. it's kind of weird isnt it? leaving the shadow areas blank paper and filling in the highlights. i had trouble with it, my thing is photography. i had to take a drawing class as a prereq. but it turned out pretty nice actually, i gave it to my friend and he hung it on his door.

are you going to major in art? you're really good! i love the details in the petals and those tiny antennae

 

I definitely had a hard time at first with the shadows and highlights. I had to practice alot before, just drawing spheres and other objects to get used to it. The annenaes are actually done with black charcoal... i cheated. I am going to go to major in Fashion, so my artistic ablities will be used. But thank you i really appreciate it.

 

Wonderful, I wish I could see it in person.

 

Wow! Katie89---you don't need to ask anybody how that is---I hope you are putting some of your work on the market-----I wish I could do that.

 

charcoal is wonderful.. especially when it's arranged onto paper by you apparently.. that's awesome!
