INTENSE LOOK of Laetitia Casta

i´m kind of proud for this one. though some parts could be even better (like the lips and the shiny skinparts), i think this is one of my best. it´s the first pencildarwing after a longer time, and it seems that i haven´t forgotten how to draw with pencils. unfortunately i tried to put too much detail in it, the shiny skinparts are not that good, but the eye is execllent to my opinion. and though this scan is ok. the original is much better! when you take a quick look on it, you can think it´s a photograph.

the picture i used as reference is of the famous french top-model laetitia casta. i bought a print acount, so i´ll be submitting some of my better works to it in the near future. if you´re interested in buying a print of this drawing, you can please come back again in a few days (i´m trying to figure it out how this whole thing works)

materials i used: pencils (3H - 8B), white paper (used a new one, but it was allmost a desaster, cause i often thought it would tear apart, though it´s of high quality)

as allways comments and favs are appreciated

this was my last submission for today, now i´ve got to get back to my drawing table, to make something new. ´til then

many greetings
