Love the angle...the lighting, the shading it makes for a wonderful piece!

Oh man, that is great, can I ask, did you draw the whole pic then erase parts? I've tried that technique but with little success, but you seem to have pulled it off with aplomb.

Very nice and simple, but effective. Agree with Ellen, great job on the lighting. I also like her dress...looks like a mermaid tail almost....

Thanks, everyone!

Saul, I cheated. I used grey paper with white and black pencil. I do love the effect of the eraser method, though, especially when you want to get that early black and white photography feel.

Beautiful drawing. I love the perspective, walking into the flash of lights. Excellent illustration of the topic!
