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 :)

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!
