Light from within....

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within. ~Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

    Very nicely done. How do you manage to keep it so crisp and clean? When I work with charcoal I get smudges on the page around my drawing (and myself)

    Hi!! This is a cool drawing, I like it! It reminds me of my post about my alter ego, which I JUST noticed you posted on!! I'm so sorry I never noticed, but I have NO problem with you using it as inspiration, but if it ever goes anywhere and you become famous because of it, just be sure to drop my name in there somewhere haha :)

    Hi Florence...not always am I able to keep my sketches clean and free from charcoal dust..my sketches get smudged too...but I've heard that using a fixative spray over the sketch might help fix it...but I've never tried that myself..!

    I love the liveliness of her hair being tossed around....
