i have been an art rut lately. this is only the second cover i've done in prob a month or two. and thats not much for me, as thats all i normally do. i did this one in one sitting.. as soon as my pencil touched the paper, mojo was oozing out all over the place. i tried something different this time. i have specific technique when i draw certain things and i chose to be a lil ballszy and played with the style of face i drew. the close observer could see that almost everything on the face is different. than my normal stuff. and needless to say this was prob the easiest face i've draw in a long time, no mistakes and no erasing. and those that keep up with my gallery know that i always say how much i hate drawing faces. so this was fun for me from top to bottom. nothing was really hard on this one, but after i scanned it and saw it shrunked down, i realized that i drew her ass to big, so i had to redraw it and scan it again...some might think its still too big...oh well.
im a big fan of disneys pirates trilogy, so i pulled a lot of inspiration from there, i awlays say it pays to use reference.
aah! finally! ive been waitin for sumthing new from you since a while now! i like the shading on the masts in the back! you told me you use a 2H for shading... right? how do you manage to get it visible on the scans? and if im not mistaken, you also use a 2B for the main pencils?

I may say something dumb and I may say something uninspired, but I will not say anything negative about your art.
