Medium: Black Lead #2 Pencil 13x15 1/4
Artist's Statement:

'First off thank you for even looking at my work. This was based on a picture I took of a girlfriend on a couch. I only used the position and her head while changing the setting, hat and her clothing to make her look like a napping cowgirl. This was a very intimidating task for me but I'm very happy with the result. Also this is a digital picture of my drawing because my scanner is too old and small to capture it. The down side being it's not as sharp of an image as I'd like, but it does make it look more like a photo of a person, I think. I wish I could submit this larger so you the critics could see it better, but it's horizontal and the width is restricted. I'm 22 and I've drawn for most of my life but it's always been based on the works of others (cartoons, comic characters) so I'm trying to do entirely original art now. I would like to eventually sell my work but I've had no schooling so PLEASE let me know what all of you think as any type of criticism would help! '
