I worked on this on and off for a couple of weeks. I knew the hair would take awhile so i drew it kind of small.

This was my first time working on smooth bristol. I think it came out alright.
Feel free to comment and thanks for checking it out.

Anyway, a couple of years ago saw my rare participation in one of the monthly projects on the now-renamed Illuminators Org for artists on Dragonmount.com, which was to select either a male or a female nude from two supplied stock images and do a sight drawing. This was my submission. I would link to the source image, but the URL no longer works.
