    such passion in her eyes..and leaving off the rest of the face adds a mysterious quality, pulling you into the drawing wanting to see more bringing you back to the eyes which capture you drawing you into her world….......excellent piece:)

  • mimi yoon replied

    thank you so kindly, robin… wanted to paint, selkie’s “after hours” since she posted it…. decided to draw it with charcoal for a change… then i didn’t know what to do with a such oddly composed piece… right around midnight, i decided that i’ll throw a bit of this and a bit of that and a couple of sentences of words into this… and after an hour and a half, voila~ :P really did not have any mood i wanted to create, but once i was in photoshop, things happened… and i like the result… the interpretation of this piece is left to each viewer… and~ i am so happy you find passion in her eyes… thank you~ :D
