I drew this using charcoal for my Introduction to Drawing and Painting class at my High School. Yes, the paper is wrinkly, but it's either because our teacher gave kind of... weak paper, OR because when I use my blenders, I blend roughly. I did a charcoal of the Japanese actress Kyoko Fukada because 1) She's pretty 2) I like the style she's dressed in 3) I like Asians.
I think she was wearing this dress because of her movie with Anna Tsuchiya, "Kamikaze Girls". It's a great movie! Really fun to watch and the lighting is cool.
This is awesome. The drawing is very detailed. Doing the little bow at the top would have killed me..ugh i don't even want to think about it. If you like Asians, i drew a portrait of Utada Hikaru a while back, check it out in my gallery.

Thank you! Actually, the bow was the easiest part believe it or not haha. My teacher was a little worried I wouldn't be able to do it, but really, it took about 10 minutes or so (on that day, it took long. My teacher plays music in class and when she's not looking, I lip sync the songs instead of work haha).

Caterpillars are the best procrastinaters. They wait till the very last moments of their life to do something other than sleep and eat.
