There wasn't a category for pencil drawings so I put it in charcoals! Anyway. I drew Taylor Swift, it took over 30 hours at least. It was fun drawing the hair! I used HB and 6B pencils with tissues. ^.^ This is a drawing, if you do not believe it, I can easily prove it with pictures i've taken of it. Thank you for your kindness everyone. ^-^

Favorite Quote:
Outside the station, she stands with her child on the side of the street, taking pictures of cars.<br /> <br /> You think she&#039;s insane. Until, one day, you notice that she&#039;s taking pictures of the license plates of the cars her child gets into.<br /> <br /> Because you look. But you do not see.<br /> <br /> And she walks out the shop with bags full of cat food. You think she&#039;s some crazy cat lady until you find out, she has no cats.<br /> <br /> Because you eat. But you do not taste.<br /> <br /> It&#039;s been a while since their last album but he assures you, he&#039;s doing just fine these days, white flecks in his nostrils. Then he asks you if he can spend the night on your couch, even though it stinks.<br /> <br /> Because you sniff. But you do not smell.<br /> <br /> And they say &quot;Just OK&quot; when you ask them how school was. Then you wonder what they&#039;re hiding until you find their diary and the last entry reads &quot;I wish you&#039;d give me some privacy.&quot;<br /> <br /> Because you listen. But you do not hear.<br /> <br /> And they&#039;ve got a bruise over their eye and you run the tips of your fingers over it and ask them how it happened. You believe them. Until it happens again.<br /> <br /> Because you touch. But you do not feel.<br /> <br /> And they walk past you everyday, one million stories, each waiting to be told. Waiting for you to ask.<br /> <br /> Because you live. But very few, love.

OMG! This is amazing!!  I couldn't tell it was a pencil-drawing at first, I thought it was just the actual picture just photoshopped! You're extremely talented :)

Hi, Calasaurus_Rex,

I am just looking for some pointers on hoe to get the tiny little detailsin the hair. I love curly hair and drawing it but the little flyaways and such are so difficult. I have tried literally going in and trying to draweverything but the lightness and I have tried going back and erasing the lightness in. I simply cannot get that good texture. please share your secret if you do not mind helping out a fellow (and far less talented) artist. Thank you! :) Great job!

This is beatiful- it almost looks computer generated! Maybe it is, maybe it isn't- but me saying it looks computer generated is a compliment of how life like it looks! I love the vintage-y photoshoot of her with the carousal and the flower band in her hair- she definently works it! Fantastic job!
