Show me the shadow where true meaning lies
So much more dismay in empty eyes...


This is a drawing based on a photo of my beautiful friend, Lisa, ~BlackButterflyLMK [link] I havent been feeling very inspired the past few weeks, but at the same time I really wanted to draw :lol: So I just started this sketch yesterday, and really liked it so thought I'd do a finished piece of it. In the photo I drew from it was cropped on the sides and when I tried to make it up from my head I kept making her head and hair really big so just decided to add borders. I was going to write lyrics but then just started looking around the room, and saw my spiderweb fabric hanging on the wall and thought spiderwebs might look cool :D especially with halloween coming too :D I spent a while on the details like the eyes and necklaces, and I havent been very happy with how I've been doing hair lately, I've been using too much paint and not charcoal so it hasnt been as smooth, but I didnt use any paint in the hair this time, so hopefully it looks softer. Title is from lyrics by Evanescence. Blah blah..hope ya like it :love:

I really love the side borders in this one, and the colors really make it pop. Will you use the border technique again?
