Artist's Comments

At last i finished i was very very into this portrait it has so many details it was driving me crazy her hair and sweater were killing me but it was very worth it i like the results :)
i took the ref. photo out of Flickr the person who shot this is an amazing Phototgrapher i evny him hehe i wish i could go this far and take photo's this amazingly but i at least i have the honor of making it a Drawing this is actually a little girl in Sichuan, China she's a nomad....her hair and skin are in such bad condition by the intense heat of the sun it's really sad. But at the same time as i read from many shot's of Chinese minority these people actually are happy and very nice but shy people. i really hope i captured the moment in drawing.
hope everybody likes it :):)

Wow! Incredible detailing and great job on telling the story of her life through your drawing. I guess the photographer helped out on that a bit. :)
I really love this.
