mmm, idk...i think its more the detail of the rug, the shadow of the plant, some light source reflecting over the couch, the way he gave the couch such a comfy plush feeling with a few brush strokes...how if you look every line, every stroke, seems almost careless because his eye for light and form is so phenomenal, he doesnt need to second guess or overwork it.

i don't think many people can appreciate how amazing this picture is.

Thank you guys. Dorsy i think that the original ref had it a bit softer but i liked experimenting with contrasts, especially it seemed just right with the overall expression of the pose and colours. Perhaps i did it too "extreme" though, dunno, maybe you are right :) i was mainly trying to get the "in focus" effect of her arm, knee and the sofa's angle, so the rest of the body looks a bit blurry, you know, like on the photograph.. hmm actually now that i look at it you are probably right i could make it smoother, but oh well.. what's done is done :) thanks for this comment though!

Thanks for your comment and for bringing this out of the studio again! One draw that I'm quite proud of! Patience must've been my friend that day =)

Another masterpiece!

this is really awesome stuff QT! it turned out great

wow.

The way you have depicted age with the sunken mouth, the collapsed brow and drooping eyelids, the wrinkled and thin translucent skin...and even the little hint of chin bristles...and yet her beauty and strong character shine through. What a portrait!

Lovely, and agreeing it is nice to see a male figure drawn. The pastel colors are beautiful in this.

Now i am hungry :( lol
