    mmmm this is fantastic =]

    ... she looks like shes watching two adults having a conversation about something she doesn’t understand… is she lost that way?

  • Paul Compton replied

    I think she knows more than she’s letting on. I like to think of her as lost in time more than anything but of course it’s open to interpretation. Thank you so much for commenting Nicola : )

    wonderful soft treatment, beautifully done!

  • Paul Compton replied

    Thank you Darkest. Working with pencil on wet paper is really irritating and I’ll never do it again.

    Wow, so beautiful, such a sweet face, beutiful in lights and shadows, love the hair and the highlights in her eyes. So cool victorian, hee hee, what i been slaving over lately, research & art, we are like twilight zone kids

  • Paul Compton replied

    We are twilight zone kids, you and I pinky. So glad you like this. I was almost going to throw this drawing out but something about her eyes told me not to. Thank you for the favouritings too : )

  • ellejayerose

    she looks quite measured for someone lost

  • Paul Compton replied

    You’re right Elle. Perhaps the title is a clever misnomer on the artists part

    Triffic Paul !

    Surely you must have publishers interested in your work !

    I love how you explore the use of different mediums Paul. I’d imagine that drawing with pencil on damp paper makes it more difficult for it to show up, but it has a great effect on the lost girl here.

  • Paul Compton replied

    Yes, the paper started to tear up a little near the bottom so the detail in her clothes has faded away. Makes her look more ghostlike or lost though. Hope you’re well Mui-Ling, thank you : )
