I learned a great deal while drawing this.

I tried to have as many elements in this drawing as I could muster. Metal from the door, Wooden floor, Gem and pearls for the bracelet, fur, flowing fabric, dark, textured rug against the light. The other factor I considered was having a dynamic drawing of a seemingly static environment. Notice the diagonals on the base of the drawing - the lines of her legs, arm, triangular shadows, diagonal light beam. I hope these elements help to move the viewer's eyes all around the drawing. The darkest and lightest areas which are on opposite sides are there for viewers to rest their eyes. I hope this makes sense...

Thanks for reading and viewing! (I will edit and use a better photo soon...)

three layers for the dark?
i usually just turn to the 9B
but if you're into mechanicals
i doubt you'd find one
nicely done!

Very good work dina :)

Everything is perfectly balanced, the textures are very accurate.

I'm impress by your consistency in all your work !

I just can't think of anything good to say that I haven't said before. I'm thrilled to see this finished. It's marvelous but that's not saying much. It's...truly awesome. I like your statement on the vanity in the child's pearls...it ties in nicely, added another meaning for me.

Thanks Megan! I wish I could've expressed myself a little better with the symbolism and in other areas, but then again, I'm not much of a writer... hehe. I'm glad you've found meaning in it.
