Description
posted this some time ago on facebook (along with the sketch)now uploading wallpapers here on dA.
it actually started off as just a woman wearing a hat without the cigarette but then i saw an awesome photo (this: [link] ) and had to add it (besides it needed some color among all the gray)
still kinda became the counter-part to this pic

That's gorgeous. She reminds me of a character I've had in the back of my head for a long time. What are you doing in the back of my head? Just kidding

Love the texture and the faint glow and splash of color of the cigaret.

first off, I know some artists can't stand when people compare their art with something else, and I apologize ahead of time if you're one of them but...
This reminds me so much of Carmen Santiago for some reason

The way you draw the eyes to the cigarette is a marvelous effect. The composition is incredible

I like the metallic look to her hair and the smoky colors to the whole pic. The glow of the cigarette adds a nice pop of color.

You've put into image a character I've created a few years ago, and for whom I've yet written one short story and novella. She's a private detective, the literary setting I've built her into is heavily inspired by the Roman Noir style.
In my mind, she looks exactly like this. I can add that she has cold (frozen?) blue eyes, black hair, she's pretty tall, slim, always has a cigarette (even in a hospital lol...).
Yep, you've drawn here pretty much dead on.

well, it's a bit hard to say, because i actually started doing some pencil sketches and only later went digital and finished. So maybe like 4 hours with the sketches.

I think adding the cigarette was a great idea! Really makes the picture into something special, a golden spark in the middle of all the misty grey. Love it

Awesome brush strokes! It looks very fluid if you know what I mean. The highlights coming from the ciggarette's light add a nice balance too.
