The Artistic Process
Have you ever been so obsessed with your work that nothing else make sense except the work? This state is well known for any artist who loves to create. For me this feels like the drawing has its own will. It wants to exist and I am only the tool to make it happen. This redhaired lady would not leave me in peace until she existed.
Being an artist is both a blessing and a curse. The pain, struggle and forgetting your needs is the price you pay for the experience of losing yourself in the work. All thoughts disappear and you become the pencil, the line, a shadow on the cheek. I love the creative process and welcome it as often as I can.
This picture, have been written to small place, you can see that is at stake is very troublesome.
You really like to draw a picture :D

I love the details around the lips and the gentle glow of her skin, a subtle and beautiful piece.
I was looking back through your blogs. I like how your posts have developed more and more towards your art work. Visually your 'blog stream' over the last week has grown and bloomed into a mass of stunning blues and purples.

I love the "random complexity" of the detail, it's great that you took those closeup images, or else we couldn't see the amazing detail.
