Please look at the original which was done in very bright selections of Prismacolor Colored Pencils. I just didn't know how to categorize this since I edited it on the computer: [link]
Please view it as it was a full day's project and I worked really hard at it and it was my first huge color project. Or not, if you wish. But I'd appreciate it.
Entered in 's Eye Contest since it's originally traditional and just in the time period.
I was just playing around with it and was wondering if it would look realistic in B/W. And I kind of like it and feel like uploading it . . . I love black and white.
I may delete this. Probably not. Don't usually upload two versions of one drawing but yeah . . .
I'm still working on my Muse portrait - it's going fairly well. Dom's a bit disappointing, but Matt makes up for it I hope. I'm also hoping to do another Natalie Portman drawing (last one being rather dear to me: [link] ) And use my gorgeous Keira Knightley and Matthew Bellamy references that I've had on hand FOREVER. AND I'm also hoping to get into a particular art class . . . but I doubt I'll be accepted.
So it would be better if you go to the source, make it B/W and then color, I think. The credit is all there.
