Kelly Monaco Portrait

Hi everyone. I'm back with a new drawing. I've been working on this one for a while. This is a portrait of the beautiful Kelly Monaco. I did the drawing for a new step by step tutorial on my website. I did something a little different for me on this one. I tried to fade out the bottom of the portrait. I'm not sure if I was successful at this but I tried. Hope you guys like it and check out the tutorial at http://www.dueysdrawings.com/portrait_tutorial.html 11"x14" Fabriano Hotpress 3B, B, H, 2H pencils mechanical pencils q-tips, blending stumps, tissue for blending 20 hours Also, I put a lot of work into the tutorial. If you find it interesting or it helps you please help me promote it by posting links to it, blogging, submitting it to social networking sites, etc... Thank you :)

This is very realistic and well drawn Brian! GREAT work! I like the fading out and think it adds character! :-)

Beautiful, almost photo like, if you had not faded the bottom out, I would have assumed from the thumbnail that it was a photo, great job!

What can I say....awesome work Brian. I really enjoyed reading your tutorial!

Very cool, scanned through your tutorial too. You are very uniform in your process, which is a good thing...I am kind of random, I like to work on whatever interests me at the time.... Great job (not sure who Kelly is, but she is lovely)
