Comments by the artist

I've been working on this drawing in my spare time and its taken a while to get it this far. I enjoy working in art nouveau style but each line of hair can take a while to get right, it's worth all the effort though.

I originally intended to ink this in afterwards but I actually quite like the messy pencil look. If you look at the larger version you can see a few smudges, marks and construction lines etc. that's all part of it.
