Adriana Lima - Graphite Rendering
A Drawing I did earlier this Spring.
HB-6B Kimberly Graphite Pencils on Paper.
What is true beauty? Is it white teeth, blue eyes, and clear skin? Or is it something we all posses, but few show? Does true beauty lie on the outside, or does it come from within, only to find its place resting on the exterior. True and utter beauty is impossible to obtain due to the fact that it is simply the opinion of the observer. I wanted to show that in our society, beauty is merely an emulated trend that seems so easy to obtain…so easy in fact, it seems as though you could rip it out of a magazine.

Very detailed. Is the lady someone you know or from a random picture?

Wow, very good indeed. I wish I could create illustrations half as good as that for my novel-to-be (in time). Nice work, and nice words to go with it.

Lovely drawing, though area between under the nose and chin looks a bit squashed. Wish I could draw people properly, but I can't so I stick with drawing anime characters instead.

Would that be her lips? =P its a scaled drawing, so either its the lighting, or that supermodel has a messed up face  . |

For a moment, I thought it was a fake. So it's that good; very convincing.
I think beauty expresses its language with our eyes.
